Camp Schedule for 2020

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is pleased to again announce plans for Summer Music Camp, the largest university music camp in America! This summer we will offer two one-week camps, serving over 2,000 musicians, with programs in band, mixed chorus, orchestra, and piano. Join us for a great musical experience!

Students at camp are under the leadership and guidance of the artist-faculty of the UNCG School of Music, long recognized as a national leader in musical excellence. In addition, distinguished music teachers, performers, and conductors from throughout the state and nation will join the staff of Summer Music Camp to ensure that each student receives the highest quality instruction available.

Ensemble performance in band, chorus, or orchestra will be emphasized and each camp will conclude on Friday evening with a concert for parents, relatives, friends, and area residents. Classes in basic musicianship, as well as recital performances and sectional rehearsals by the camp staff members will serve to balance the total program. A private lesson on your instrument, in voice, or on piano is an available option to all campers.

PRIVATE LESSONSFor students who wish to take a private lesson on their instrument or voice, a 30 minute private lesson is an available option for all campers. Students in grades 8 – 12 only may also request a 60 minute private lesson. The fee for one 30 minute lesson is $20. A 60 minute lesson is $40 and is recommended only for students in grades 8 – 12. A private lesson on piano is also available to orchestra, band or mixed chorus students if requested in advance. Prior piano experience is required (no beginner pianists) and the fee is also $40 for a one-hour lesson.

Once your application for Summer Music Camp has been accepted, you may pay online with a Visa or MasterCard or mail a personal check. A minimum deposit of $50.00 is required to hold a spot at Summer Music Camp. Failure to pay the deposit may result in the cancellation of your registration. The balance of all fees must be paid on or before June 1, 2020.

HOUSING, MEALS, & SUPERVISIONCamp students, except day campers, will be housed in air conditioned UNCG residence halls and will eat all meals in the nearby University Dining Hall. Campers must bring their own sheets, towels, and pillow from home. Camp students will be housed on a two per room basis. You may wish to find a roommate who is also attending camp. Housing for Friday night, at the end of camp, is not provided.

Meals begin with dinner on Sunday and end with dinner on Friday – 16 meals in all. All meals will be served cafeteria style and students will be allowed to eat as much food as they wish at every meal with a wide variety of choices.

While staying in the UNCG residence halls, all music camp students will be under the careful supervision of the Music Camp Staff. More than 80 counselors will be living with the campers each week monitoring all aspects of camp life. For additional details, including Frequently Asked Questions, sample schedules, supervision and safety, and day camper info, visit our website at smcamp.uncg.edu.

HEALTH CAREIn the event of an illness or injury to a student at camp, the staff will escort that student to the Summer Music Camp Registered Nurse for prompt, professional medical care. In the unlikely event that a student would need to see a physician or visit a hospital, immediate transportation and an escort would be provided. Any injury, no matter how slight, will be reported at once to the parent. Costs resulting from a doctor visit, prescription medication, x-rays, lab work or hospital treatment are the responsibility of the parent.

REFUNDSYou may cancel your application for Summer Music Camp and receive a refund less $50.00 (non-refundable portion on all camp fee plans) if the request is made two weeks prior to the opening of that week. No money will be refunded for any reason after the two week deadline. Students arriving late for camp or leaving early are not eligible for a refund of any amount. Camp Enrollment is not transferable to anyone else. The initial $50.00 registration deposit is not refundable for any reason.

FREE TIME & RECREATIONTo balance the musical and educational experiences of Summer Music Camp, there is a brief opportunity for free time each afternoon. Camp students will have time to relax, visit the student center and bookstore, or have a snack. Other popular activities at camp include two evening movies and a party on Thursday night. Activities are under the careful guidance of the Music Camp Staff as the well-being of each camper is our foremost concern.

EQUIPMENTEach band and orchestra student will be expected to furnish his or her own instrument and bring a folding metal music stand. A limited number of musical instruments such as string basses, concert percussion equipment, and pianos will be available from the School of Music.

Instruction in piano technique, keyboard literature, basic musicianship, ensemble playing and theory will be a part of the camp.
