RESIDENTIAL SUMMER SONGWRITING CAMPS 2025
An immersive & motivational experience for aspiring young songwriters aged 11-18
By popular demand we’ve booked dates to return next year in the south and north of the UK!
Our residential songwriting camps are designed for aspiring young songwriters/musicians to develop their songwriting skills, connect & collaborate on exciting songwriting briefs over 4 days & immerse themselves in all parts of the songwriting process, from finding inspiration, lyric writing, melody improvisation and composition to producing and performing. Our expert team of top songwriters and producers all share a passion for inspiring the next generation.
At each camp, there are only 50 places in small groups of 11-13 year olds, 14-15 and 16-18 year olds. If you’re already writing your own songs or are musical and creative and keen to start writing your own songs, make sure you have a place!
The cost for this exciting residential songwriting camp is £655. This includes accommodation, meals and all songwriting and creative activities during the camps. It is possible to attend for the days – costing £555 for the camp.
Express your interest in our Summer camps in the form below.
The 4 day programme includes engaging sessions on:
Creating song concepts and understanding song structure
Creative lyric writing
Chords, Melody and Harmony improvisation (with some music theory)
Ways to develop your sound and style
Recording and producing your songs
Choir & Band
How to engage your audience
How the Songwriting/Music industry works and latest trends
Masterclasses on song production, chord progressions, melody improvisation and lyrical development
Open songwriter/mic night
Quiz night
VIP professional songwriters night with an opportunity for Q&As
Performances at the end of camp showcase from 2-4pm on the last day.
An excellent team leading the songwriting tuition and wellbeing of every participant
There will be two teams leading the camp, one focused on the songwriting tuition and the other on the wellbeing of participants and leisure activities in the afternoon, extra-curricular activities in the evenings (special guest talks and quiz night/songwriter live nights), going to bed/getting up in the morning and generally making sure that everyone is in the right place at the right time and enjoying the songwriting camp.
There will be a good mixture of focused songwriting work across the whole creative songwriting process, leisure time, song feedback, guest speakers and performance sessions. As always everyone on the Song Academy team will have an enhanced DBS certificate and the right number of first aid practitioners.
We’ve aimed to create the ideal songwriting camp for 11-18 year olds.

Testimonials. From some of the participants of our previous songwriting summer camps
I would say it was an incredible experience and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to kickstart a career in songwriting or producing, there’s such a variety of styles and talents which I’ve met and been introduced to and there are so many people who are immensely talented, creative and passionate about songwriting.
POPPY, aged 14
You’ll absolutely love every single moment of it. You’ll learn loads and get to hang out with people who love the same things you do. You will definitely improve as a songwriter and it will really open up your creativity. Everyone was so super supportive and so collaborative. It was just a great community and so much fun!
GEORGIE, aged 14
I enjoyed most the co-writing, getting great advice/tips from the leaders and guests, the performance and meeting other songwriters.
