Who thrives here Ages 8–13

Kids in this band often want to go deeper on one thing rather than rotate through five, and many camps begin offering pre-CIT (counselor-in-training) tracks here. The right theater/music fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
