ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp is in session this week in Nashville, with campers from around the country participating in a week of activities and excursions around Music City. The residential camp has the dual purpose of studying Williams syndrome and other developmental disabilities and providing music enrichment through performance and education.

On Monday, Brett Eldredge and David Lee Murphy lead campers in a songwriting session, creating “We’re Having a Party,” an original song based on campers’ personal experiences and inspirations.

The camp is a partnership between ACM Lifting Lives and Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities.
