This summer, the Amatones Choir Camp is offering a unique, teen-led opportunity for youth ages 8–15 in DuPage County to grow not just as musicians—but as confident, collaborative, and expressive individuals.
Hosted at the Alive Center and powered by a grant from the DuPage Foundation, this camp goes beyond traditional music instruction and is Teen-Led, Teen-Driven ™ by accomplished student musicians, Alex Amato and Allie Budney.
Alex and fellow musician Allie Budney will direct the choir where campers will strengthen their understanding of healthy vocal technique while developing essential life skills like communication, collaboration, and self-confidence. These attributes will serve them both on and off the stage—empowering them in school, social situations, and future leadership roles.
Through team-building and leadership-focused activities, participants will form meaningful connections with peers from diverse backgrounds, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
Confidence, Communication & Connection
Through daily rehearsals, team-building activities, and guided performance practice, campers will build self-confidence and learn the value of clear communication and effective collaboration. These skills are crucial for success not only in music, but in school, future workplaces, and everyday life.
Fostering Leadership and Friendship
The program emphasizes teamwork and leadership, encouraging campers to take initiative, support one another, and develop friendships across diverse backgrounds. It’s a chance for kids and teens to feel seen, heard, and included—creating a deeper sense of community and belonging.
A Creative Space for Growth
With a strong focus on self-expression and creativity, the Amatones Choir Camp provides a safe, supportive environment where participants can explore their interests, find their voices, and build resilience. Whether they’re seasoned performers or just discovering a love for singing, every camper is welcome.
By investing in youth through the power of music, the Amatones Choir Camp is helping shape the next generation of artists, leaders, and changemakers—and making a lasting impact on the cultural and social well-being of DuPage County.
