Build & Learn Ukulele Summer Camp

Since we’re a music therapy company, you can expect groups will not only be fun and engaging, but also address goals like expression, fine motor skills, peer interaction, and more!

Participants do NOT need to be current clients with Aspire, all are welcome! Groups are split up based on age range and may be covered through Medicaid Waiver, ESA funding, or private pay.

Registration closes May 31 or when spots are full. Spots are offered on a first come, first serve basis and are limited to 6 per group. You will only be considered registered after receiving a paid invoice or approved Medicaid Waiver budget.

Uke can do it! Design your own ukulele, learn the basics, and take it with you!

Dates: June 9 - June 12

Location: 6108 Maplecrest Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46835

Group Times:

  • 8 - 14 year olds: 9:30am - 10:45am

  • Teens / Young Adults: 11:00am - 12:15pm

  • Participants will receive an assembled ukulele kit with a base color painted and will be able to paint designs on their ukulele. Ukulele design suggestions will be provided to help inspire creativity and expression.

    After the ukuleles are complete, participants will learn basic chords and be provided with materials to take home and continue rocking out.

    These are meant to be examples and are subject to change.

  • We want to set our participants up for success and will certainly be making adaptations throughout to meet each participant where they are at! Some skills that would be helpful for participants to best benefit from this group include:

    • Able to follow directions

    • Have some independent fine motor skills

    • Knows colors

    • Able to stay in the session area for the duration of the group time (besides going to the bathroom!)

    Our groups will further expand on these skills and other goal areas.

    Private Pay and ESA will be sent an Invoice.

    For Medicaid Waiver, we request 6 hours of budget for the month of June. A budget must be approved in advance for the month of June in order to be fully registered.

    • No refunds will be provided once registered.

    • Participants must have their own transportation and be picked up on time at the end of each group. Staff / Guardians may leave the premises unless pick up is late, in which case they will be asked to stay on site.

    • Water will be available on site. Please refrain from bringing food, unless medically necessary.
