SUMMER ARTS CAMPS INFORMATION

 

There are many opportunities for students to explore and study music over the summer from residency programs where students live on-campus to camps where students can commute daily.  Students can participate in concert band camps, jazz camps, instrument specific camps, composition, digital music production, and more.  Many of the camps have scholarship opportunities available.  The West Aurora High School Band Boosters also offer summer camp scholarship assistance.  Listed below are a few camps we recommend, but there are so many more to explore!
