Arrowbear Music Camp Intermediate Sessions

INTERMEDIATE

For Junior honor group level players entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grade (and higher). Eleven days of music and fun creating an exciting total experience. Non-music time is overseen by counselors (1 per 10 campers) sensitive to homesickness and other social situations, including assisting in creating friendships.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The repertoire consists of music typical for junior honor groups. We combine a busy routine of rehearsal, instruction and camp activity with a carefully planned social structure. This results in impressive growth, both musically and personally. Dorms and camp activities are supervised by a staff of College age counselors at a ratio of 1 to 10.
