Read what campers are saying about Oakland Glee!
“👭Glee camp was such a great experience for me. Although it was just one week, I made several new friends, and was able to progress a lot in my singing. Jessica was so encouraging. I’d been looking for a good singing coach for a long time, and after Glee camp, I knew Jessica was the one for me. In Glee camp, we not only sang, but we took lunchtime walks in the Rose Garden, and did other fun things. At the end of Glee camp, we had a recital, and in my opinion it couldn’t have gone better. I loved Glee camp so much that even during quarantine, I went to the online Glee camp and loved that too. We had so much fun doing virtual backgrounds, and other silly things. Glee camp is my favorite camp and I still count down the days till I can go again. Thank you, Jessica and Glee Camp! ”
“😃 I started Glee in 4th grade. I was so shy and had no confidence in my singing or acting abilities whatsoever. I didn’t even really like either of those things because I was so self-conscious about them. However, about 2 weeks into Glee, I started really looking forward to each session. It was such a positive and encouraging environment that really helped my confidence. Now I’m a senior in high school and singing and acting are my absolute passion and they are what I want to pursue in my life. I can pinpoint Glee as where it all started. Not only did I gain a lifelong passion, but I was also lucky in finding a great mentor in Jessica.”
“It’s the best camp and program. Jessica is encouraging, positive and makes our kids feel more confident about their abilities. She’s a wonderful instructor. The other teachers are wonderful “big girl” mentors for our kids.”
“Miriam really enjoyed Jessica’s Glee course. She was excited to attend every week and we were really impressed with how great all the kids sounded at the final performance. Fun and learning – what a great combination!”
Meet Voice Coach Jessica Neighbor:
I created the Oakland Glee Vocal & Drama Summer program 8 years ago so that young performers could get FUNdamental performance training. As a Voice Coach with over 20 years experience teaching children, I’ve seen how this camp helps young performers develop their core performing arts skills so they feel more confident and capable onstage, in our program, and for all of their future programs! This is the camp I wish I could have gone to as a young performer!
