In addition to our low camper-to-instructor ratio, we provide a floating music instructor who visits each band daily to offer additional help with musical parts. With this level of support, our campers can be confident that they’re getting the guidance they need to succeed.

At our Band Camp, you’ll have the chance to explore a wide variety of music genres and styles.

This diverse musical experience allows our campers to broaden their horizons and discover new sounds they may not have considered before.
