Create. Connect. Perform. Shine.

OYOUth Club is a creative hub for kids and teens ages 8 – 19 who love music, words, art, and being themselves. Our sessions are a mix of songwriting, music-making, teamwork, poetry, and creative confidence building — with just the right amount of joy and goofiness.

We write group songs, sharpen musicianship skills, explore poetry and lyrics, and dive into creative projects like rock painting with positive affirmations and goal setting that actually sticks. Along the way, kids build collaboration skills, self-expression, and the courage to share their voices.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. OYOUth Club members get:

Performance opportunities

A kid-entrepreneur holiday vendor experience

Whether your kid is brand-new to music or already writing songs, OYOUth Club is a place to belong, create, and grow—surrounded by supportive mentors and peers who believe every young voice matters.

It’s creative. It’s empowering. It’s awesome.

The OYOUth Summer Music Camp brings young people ages 10–19 together in San Marcos to make music, find their voices, and feel like they belong. Designed to welcome youth of all abilities and backgrounds, the camp creates a safe, supportive space where every participant is seen, valued, and encouraged to explore who they are through music.

Over the course of the music camp, students write songs, learn instruments, sing, and collaborate with one another. Along the way, they build more than musical skills. They gain confidence. They learn how to listen, work as a team, and take creative risks. Students are introduced to a wide range of musical styles and traditions, while also being encouraged to draw from their own stories, cultures, and lived experiences. By learning side by side with peers of different abilities and perspectives, participants develop empathy, respect, and a genuine sense of community.

The summer music camp concludes with a public performance at the Wildflower Country Event Center, where students share the original songs and collaborations they’ve created together. This celebration isn’t just a concert — it’s a powerful moment of pride, visibility, and affirmation for the students and their families, and a reminder of what inclusive arts education can look like when everyone is invited to participate.

The need for this program is real and growing. In 2025, OYOU offered this music camp, with 75% able to attend free of charge thanks to donor support. Affordable music camps are scarce in San Marcos — or frankly anywhere, and programs intentionally designed to include youth of all abilities are even rarer. By removing financial barriers and adapting instruction to meet each child where they are, OYOU ensures that access to music education isn’t limited by income, ability, or circumstance.

The impact of the OYOUth Summer Music Camp is felt both immediately and long after the final note is played. Participants leave with stronger musical skills, increased confidence, and meaningful friendships. Families report positive changes in self-expression and engagement, and many students continue making music well beyond the camp experience. With the support of sponsors, this program continues to nurture creativity, connection, and belonging — one song, and one young person, at a time.

"I’ve spent a lot of time working with Terri and Lloyd over the last few years and it has meant a lot to me. I’ve made friends and memories and of course, songs. Because of them I’ve gotten a lot better at expressing myself. The OYOU kids camps have taught me confidence as well as pride in my craft. In fact, for my high school letter jacket “Own Your Own Universe” is what I chose to put under my name on the back. That’s how much the idea means to me.” — Harper Claes (Age 13)
