We invite you to join us for a magical afternoon of activities at the launch of the brand-new children’s book “Perfectly Imperfect” by local author and illustrator Brenda Hattingh. We will start the festivities with a 20-minute magic show performed by the author herself, followed by a fun activity for anyone who wants to participate. (If you just want to observe, that’s fine too!) After this, we’ll settle down for a reading of the delightful book, Perfectly Imperfect. Finally, you will have the opportunity to purchase your very own copy of Perfectly Imperfect and have Brenda sign it for you! Recommended for ages 3-8, but all ages are welcome! *Adult caregiver must remain on premises during event* About the Author: Brenda is an actress, writer, painter, children’s entertainer, illustrator, and rug artist based in Salt Lake City.

For children with little to no musical experience, our Rock 101 camp is the perfect introduction to music. This camp provides an excellent opportunity to explore various musical instruments and determine if SLAM is the right fit for your family. Best of all, the week will end with a concert where the kids will get to perform for friends and family, showing off their hard work and new skills. They will go from potentially never having touched an instrument to playing songs from iconic bands like AC/DC – and it’s all possible in just one week!​ ​ Dates: June 9-13 and July 14-18. Each camp runs from 9 am - 2 pm. ​​ ​Camps are limited to 15 campers on a first come, first served basis and consist of five 50-minute sessions each day on topics such as bandcraft, stagecraft, acoustic, musicianship, music electronics, music theory, and how to be rockin' bandmate. Includes muffins, cookies, fresh fruit, and beverage provided in the lounge all day. The tuition for the week long summer camp is $400. Secure your spot at https://www.slamslc.org/rockcamp
