Our Staff

Our campers get unique opportunities to work with fantastic guest conductors during their week at camp. We work hard to find educators who will not only help students grow as musicians, but embody our motto of “Fellowship Through Music.” Many of our conductors are leaders in the field of Music Education and give our campers 110% during their rehearsals.
