What does the cost include?
Our camps include guest speakers/artists, field trips, master classes, and t-shirts. The beginner and intermediate camps also include lunch and a snack. We also offer before and after care at these camps at an extra cost of $25/week due at the start of each week. Before Care begins at 7:30 AM. After Care ends at 6:00 PM. Our camps offer large ensemble classes as well as smaller class sizes for focused instrumental electives which means that students will have a balance of individualized attention as well as the benefits of ensemble playing. Students will spend about four hours on their instruments and supplement their time with meaningful electives to enrich their musical learning experience.
