Music Day Camp
Our students, staff, and the VYOA have built an awesome summer music enrichment for band and orchestra students in grades 4 through 10. Music Day Camp is a perfectly balanced program to kick off your summer — large and small ensembles; great fun while gaining valuable educational experience; an informal camp atmosphere in a beautifully designed facility, and diverse musical and non-musical camp activities. I am honored to gather and work with our area’s best music teachers and we are always excited to see both new and returning campers every year. See you at Music Day Camp 2012!!!
