Camp meets 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. (with an optional supervised "jam session" from 4-5 p.m. for late pick-up) Monday through Friday. Each week will have a different experienced principal teacher as well as masterclass guests — therefore, every week will be a brand new experience, culminating with group performances on Fridays.
