Youth Music Camp: A Perfect Introduction
Our Youth Music Camp is designed for young and beginning musicians of all levels. Campers participate in a variety of classes, individual lessons, chorus, band or orchestra, and a musical. We encourage at least a full year of instrument experience for band or orchestra.
