Band Workshop This Summer For Children 10 to 16 Years Old

A neighbourhood friend passed along this info about a summer Band Workshop for older children. Now that my kids are in the tween and early teen years, interesting summer options seem to have dried up a bit.
I used to work in the summer (and loved making the money!), but there's not a lot of paid work options for kids younger than 16 anymore. After all, during a nine-week summer, "just chilling" gets a bit old.

So if you're 10 to 16 year has a musical bent, check this out. It's local, too! This is the sum total of what I know about it, but it certainly sounds interesting:

5 DAY-LONG BAND WORKSHOP FOR AGES 10-16
Kevin Howley School of Rock

5 Day-long band workshop
Tranzac Club (Brunswick and Bloor St. W.)
Tuesday August 3-Saturday August 7 inclusive
9am-4pm
ages 10–16
$350

Led by Kevin Howley of Running Red Lights with Dave Puzak
Players will spend the days forming the bands (initially), selecting a small repertoire, rehearsing, playing rhythm & ear training games, songwriting/lyric writing workshops, performance workshops, and each day they'll be time outdoors for sports at a nearby park. Saturday afternoon there will be a gig at the Tranzac.
Players should have a handle on a fair number of basic chords and chord progressions (or beats/grooves for drummers), be able to play through a song, and carry a tune. Guitar and bass players would need to bring their instruments and picks; drummers, their sticks; keyboard players, their hands.
Each day, players would need to bring a packed lunch, sun hat, sun screen and water bottle.
Kevin has first aid & CPR training."
