In 2025, Festival programming will run from Monday, June 23 through Friday, June 27 (with check-in on the afternoon of Sunday, June 22, and check-out on Saturday, June 28 by 9 am.)

Mornings
Students will attend the “core” class they signed up for in their discipline for the morning (Periods 1 and 2.) Core classes will be progressive, so it will be to your benefit to choose the group that is the best fit for you as early in the week as possible – ideally, Day 1!  

(If you are uncertain which group (animal name!) in your discipline will be the best match for your musical goals and skill set, we are happy to help advise you — click here for more info.)

Afternoons
In Period 3 all camp participants join together for Community Music and Dance featuring Faculty-led Jam Sessions, Community Singing, and Social Dances – where you can choose to dance, or play for dancing! Each of these sessions are open to all disciplines and experience levels.

In Period 4, students can choose to join a Faculty-led Student Ensemble. These dynamic, collaborative ensembles welcome all disciplines.  They will be progressive experiences, so students should plan to attend the meeting of their chosen ensemble each day. There will also be a selection of Enrichment Workshops offered on a variety of topics and disciplines in both afternoon periods.

(Participants don’t need to sign up for afternoon sessions in advance and can choose what they would like to do day by day.)

Evenings
Each evening will feature faculty concerts, dances, an end-of-the-week student concert, and of course, jamming!
