Gamifying Your Summer Camps (w. Greg Genter) | 7FMS108
Greg and Daniel built a beginner music summer camp in northern Virginia.
The camp eventually enrolled hundreds of new campers each summer… growth that was built on word of mouth and a tiny marketing budget.
Parents loved the camp and told their friends about it!
A huge part of the success of the camp was the gamification that was built directly into the curriculum…
An element that eventually led to the development of the Piano Express year-round curriculum and the current gamified version of the camp.
Listen as Greg talks about how to build a successful summer camp… and how to convert those summer campers into year-round students.

Customer Reviews
So helpful!
I run a small one teacher studio, with aspirations of running a bigger one some day. I’ve recently been prioritizing growing my family, and not my studio so much, but there are takeaways from every episode, even just for myself! I love the content and it’s very helpful for my small studio too. Here’s to growing my studio in the future!
Most Helpful Podcast!
I started listening to this podcast a few months ago, and it’s completely changed the way I view my business. The advice Daniel and Nate provide is truly invaluable, and has directly led to measurable growth in our studio. I recommend this podcast to any studio owner, no matter how long you’ve been operating!
Episode 25 is the best to date!
Loved listening to interview with Alyssa O’Toole in episode 25!!! She gave so much amazing advice and the music school she built is beyond impressive!! So many great take aways from this episode!!
