Most of the camps listed have several levels of orchestras so students can perform with students of like ability. Summer camps are a wonderful way for students to keep fingers moving and to motivate students for further music study. Most of these camps are very reasonable in price, ranging from $85.00 per week to around $350.00 (not including room and board). Take advantage of these great opportunities.

Many of the websites say that the registration dates have passed. Do not believe it! They will take students up to the last day in many cases. Be sure to contact them, however, before showing up with the expectation that you will be included.
