Looking for a summer camp for your child?  I highly recommend the UNCG Summer Music Camp.  It is one of the best music camps in the country.  We are lucky that we live close enough that students can participate in the day camp for a lesser fee than staying on campus the entire time.  Below is more information from the camp:

UNCG Summer Music Camp

The School of Music at UNC Greensboro is pleased to again announce plans for Summer Music Camp, still the largest university music camp in America! This summer we will offer two one-week camps, serving over 1,700 musicians, with programs in band, mixed chorus, orchestra, and piano.

 Students at camp are under the leadership and guidance of the artist-faculty of the UNCG School of Music, long recognized as a national leader in musical excellence. In addition, distinguished music teachers, performers, and conductors from throughout the state and nation will join the staff of Summer Music Camp to ensure that each student receives the highest quality instruction available.

 Ensemble performance in band, chorus, or orchestra will be stressed and each camp will conclude on Friday evening with a concert for parents, relatives, friends, and area residents. Classes in basic musicianship, as well as recital performances and sectional rehearsals by the camp staff members will serve to balance the total program. A private lesson on your instrument, in voice, or on piano is an available option to all campers.
