LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
MARC HERSTEIN
Dear Parents,
I'm incredibly thrilled to introduce an innovative music summer program that celebrates the Star in everyone.
After orchestrating two amazing "Raise The Bar" music summer camps in 2022 and 2023, revealing the star power within every camper, I've decided to create...
StarFactory
A top tier music summer camp and talent incubator, where 7-12 year olds unite to form a music supergroup of 5 to 10 campers, known as a "Starpod," a dynamic collective where individual strengths shine. Here, they'll focus on their chosen music specialty of either a Recording Star, DJ Star, Dance Star, or Podcast Star.
With a 30 year rich history in music, education, and entertainment, I've assembled a team of top-tier, multi-talented instructors, esteemed
music educators and seasoned teaching artists. Together, we offer an unparalleled, authentic music experience - plus outdoor fun, games and day trips. At StarFactory, kids experience the inner workings of the Studio process ... all the way to the Stage.
The daily itinerary is crafted to provide campers with morning exercise through structured activities and afternoon studio time in their StarPod. The last day of camp is a Gala Celebration and Showcase, where Stars receive certificates and awards, perform their music, dance and DJ sets and StarFactory videos are premiered on the big screen!
Starfactory is about igniting creativity, fostering confidence, nurturing teamwork, and laying the groundwork for these young stars to shine in every facet of their lives. The four StarFactory specialties are those which dreams are made of and that can be continued independently, after learning the skills to create and share your own music, dance, DJ set or podcast.
YOU ARE HEREBY INVITED to join StarFactory this summer, where everyone's a Star and everyone shines!
Sincerely,
Marc Herstein
