Here is a great opportunity to learn and play with the Canon Valley Youth Orchestra this summer for students elementary through high school.
Both the Summer Orchestra and the Chamber Music Camp take place in July. All the details can be found here: SUMMER ORCHESTRA + CHAMBER MUSIC CAMP 2026
The deadline to apply is coming up so definitely take advantage of this opportunity as there aren’t many in the area!!
Another great option is the Dorian Summer Music camp for middle and high schoolers in Decorah, Iowa a little over 2 hours away. These are sleep away camps where the musicians stay in dorms on campus.
I actually went to a camp like this on the east coast and it was such a great experience! This is a very affordable camp considering it is a week long. I would definitely check it out!
