Each year, we try to bring new activities and new ways for the camp’s youth to explore rhythm in a community setting. We had an all-time highest helpers crew this year! Not only did the camp really go above the call of duty and help us with our equipment, but Alchemy had 8 representatives to work with the campers.

Camp Cocoon is a bereavement camp for Hospice survivors, ages 5-17. The camp does a great deal of therapeutic work in many inventive ways for the children. We’re honored, as always, do be a part of their services.

The video below is from 2007, I believe. The Alchemy Drumming & Dance circle form an intro for their video presentation of the camp’s message and services.
