Join us, with your friends, as you make music together this summer at the UW-Green Bay Summer Music Camps. Open to commuters and housing campers, register by July 15, 2013. Join us as we celebrate our 48th summer!

"It was an amazing experience for our daughter and only increased her love of music and has inspired her to continue with the violin. Her teacher was phenomenal (as was the entire staff) and this is something she will always remember and hope to do again next year!"
