DrumLife Program Update

We’re so grateful for the incredible participation in the DrumLife Program this year and would like to thank everyone who applied!

At this time, we’ve reached full capacity for the DrumLife program. We currently have an active waitlist, and to manage it responsibly, we are no longer accepting new applications for the 2025 cycle.

Applications will reopen on January 1, 2026, and we look forward to welcoming new participants then.

Children’s Program Credits Are Still Open!

If you're looking for ways to get involved this year, there’s still space available in the Drum Life Children’s Program Credits. Families are welcome to apply for:

  • Camp BCF
  • Swim Lessons

These are great opportunities for younger children to stay active, have fun, and build community connections.
