SAVE $250 IF YOU REGISTER FOR BOTH WOODWIND QUINTET CAMP AND SUMMER BAND CAMP!

Open to instrumental music students currently enrolled in grades 8 through 12, the Fredonia Summer Band Camp offers a friendly and relaxed setting for musical growth through performance of large ensemble and chamber music.

Set on the beautiful campus of SUNY Fredonia and housed in the university's School of Music, the Fredonia Summer Band Camp takes advantage of the campus' first-rate facilities and world-class teachers. Many of the camp faculty are also professors at the university. Outstanding performers and teachers provide unique opportunities for learning, improving technical skills and expanding musicality. In addition to band rehearsals, chamber ensembles and jazz groups, students will attend daily Musicianship classes, participate in master classes, attend special evening performances, and have time for individual practice and recreation.

The Fredonia Summer Band Camp is an exceptional value. We intentionally keep our tuition and fees as low as possible to make this outstanding musical experience available to everyone. Tuition and fees include: ensemble participation, all instruction (theory, musicianship, composition, etc), attendance at professional music performances and master classes, daily recreation, all meals and housing, and a camp t-shirt.  Limited scholarships are available for instruments as specified on the tuition page. Families in financial need are strongly urged to request funding in writing from your local school, religious organization, or other charitable organizations (Rotary, Lions, etc) for other possible financial support.

Daily Activities include:

Band rehearsal
Chamber ensemble rehearsal
Jazz ensemble rehearsal
Evening Concerts
Musicianship Classes
Master Classes
Recreation (softball, frisbee, tennis, raquetball)
