Band Camp is a great opportunity for young musicians to spend a week practicing and learning new music, participating in specialized master classes on each instrument, and studying basic and advanced music theory and history. Students can even learn a second instrument!  In addition to the musical opportunities at band camp, campers also participate in a wide range of recreational activities from swimming in beautiful, clear Lake Murray, riding horses, frisbee-golf, to fishing, riding a paddle-boat, taking a boat cruise to Tucker Tower, and more.

Join the campers as they show off the product of their hard work all week long at a Camp Finale Concert on Friday, June 25th at 10:00 AM at Lake Murray Lodge.  As a courtesy to all performers, all campers should remain until the completion of this concert.  Parents should pick their children up at the conclusion of this concert.
