I would rate this higher than excellent. A wonderful experience all around. The director’s musical skills are unparalleled. I learned a lot.” — Veteran camper

“My goal is to learn more and to cherish the experience of learning and changing. Whether or not I actually join a better group is not really the issue…the issue is what is going on to get there and, well, ups and downs, that’s what this is all about.” — Veteran camper
It was the most exhilarating and exhausting musical experience of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I felt completely immersed in music with the most wonderful participants and coaches. I felt like it fed my soul and was very healing.
This camp is a financial stretch for me, but I find it well worth it. I look forward to it all year. Because of the diversity in people’s interests and abilities, there are always some aspects that require a lot of patience and some adjustment of my own performance standards, but that’s part of what makes it interesting. I always feel that the Faculty Concert alone is worth the price of the entire week. We get to hear amazing performances of music we would never encounter anywhere else.
What?! Not come and get left out of all the fun
I love it. This was my 22nd year.
Not only is it very satisfying and fun, but it provides motivation and inspiration for the rest of the year.
I’ve been attending for years now and I learn something new every year. A very supportive and high quality faculty make all the difference!
It’s the highlight of my musical year, and one of my favorite social experiences.
I attend every year for so many things – renewing friendships I’ve made over the years, the great staff and faculty, the challenging but rewarding music, and the wonderful performances.
It meets my goals and aspirations – concert band in the morning and jazz in the afternoon.
