Sample Camp Schedule

Campers must attend the whole of every rehearsal and the final performance with no exception. In addition to monitoring student safety, our faculty has an incredible amount of music to get through in a very short time. While commuters will be returning home each day, our camp is not a “come and go as you please” camp.

*The schedule is subject to change, and any changes will be communicated to participants in a timely manner.
