Your $25 investment includes one Saturday Drum Camp session for one adult + one child.
Family Drum Camp creates an opportunity to do more than watch from the sidelines—you learn together.
Led by Djembe Fola Kam, adults and youth participate in the same hands-on West African drumming experience, learning traditional rhythms while developing technique, timing, listening, coordination, and ensemble skills.
No previous drumming experience is required.
What You'll Experience Together
- Traditional West African rhythms
- Djembe technique and sound
- Call-and-response
- Timing and coordination
- Listening and ensemble playing
- Cultural connection through rhythm
- The experience of learning something new together
From the Circle to the Stage
Participants who continue throughout the fall will have the option to prepare for a culminating performance during the Kwanzaa season.
Performance is completely optional. Families are equally welcome to simply come drum, learn, and enjoy the experience together.
Your Drop-In
$25 investment | 1 adult + 1 child
Bring your own djembes or rent one of ours for $5 per drum, per class.

Learn together. Drum together. Build something together.
