Muse Squad Summer Camps Come to New Milford: Enroll Now for 2025 Sessions
Muse Squad is excited to announce a new series of creative writing summer camps inspired by the music and legacy of Joni Mitchell
This summer, Muse Squad is excited to announce a new series of creative writing summer camps inspired by the music and legacy of Joni Mitchell. A deeply influential figure in the folk and rock scenes of the 1960s and 70s, Mitchell not only shaped a generation with her music but also with her powerful storytelling, poetic lyrics, and distinct vocal style. Through these camps, young writers will explore the rich narratives, themes of change, and emotional depth that defined this groundbreaking time in music history.
Muse Squad's New Milford Chapter will host two week-long camps at the John Pettibone Community Center (2 Pickett District Road, New Milford, CT 06776). "Joni Mitchell Part 1" (for ages 8-12) will run Monday through Friday, August 4-8, from 4:30-6:30 PM. "Joni Mitchell Part 2" (for teens ages 13+) will take place later in the month, from August 18-22 at the same time. Each camp includes five two-hour sessions that will blend creative writing exercises with lessons drawn from the spirit of collaboration, authenticity, and innovation that Joni Mitchell embodied. It's a perfect opportunity for young creatives to connect with timeless musical inspiration while developing their own voices.
