Spend two fun weeks in our camp designed for beginning- to intermediate-level violin, viola, and cello players! Complete beginners are welcome! Each student receives one private lesson, and participates in a variety of activities, including an all-camp string ensemble and all-camp chorus, outdoor play, arts & crafts, and music games. Intermediate-level participants are placed into chamber ensembles or group classes; placement in a group is based on a required entrance interview or audition.

Placement interview required for all students with previous experience on their instrument.

Before- and after-care is available 8–9am and 3–6pm at an additional charge of $9.50/hour (advance signup required, nonrefundable). Drop-in care is available for $12 per hour.
