CIM SCHOOL CALENDAR & POLICIES

The Center for Irish Music offers summer camps for children going into grades 1-6. Summer is a great time to explore a new extra-curricular activity or to spend more time learning about Irish music and arts!

Check the Youth Summer Camps page of our website for updates.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
