Different Camp Options
Band Camp
UW-Green Bay's Director of Bands and Music Camps Director, Kevin Collins, will conduct the Wind Symphony. Dr. Scott Wright, our virtuoso clarinetist and fabulous conductor will conduct the Symphonic Band. A Sunday afternoon audition will determine band and orchestral wind/percussion placement. For students entering grades 9-12, you will enjoy full rehearsals, a masterclass, sectionals, and two "choice" classes each day.
Orchestra Camp
Guaranteed to motivate and inspire you, Orchestra campers participate in multiple rehearsals, sectionals and masterclasses that raise your level of musicianship. For orchestra campers entering grades 9-12, campers play a number of orchestra and string ensemble pieces, with a culminating concert experience in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.
Choral Camp
For campers entering grades 9-12. Be members of the Phoenix Chorale, conducted by UW-Green Bay Director of Choral Activities, Dr. Randall Meder. Through the in-depth exploration of vocal technique and musical concepts, you'll be finding your own voice, and making memorable music with other serious singers like yourself.
Piano Camp
For campers entering grades 9-12. The piano program at UW-Green Bay Music Camps is an immersive experience designed to inspire young musicians and help them reach a higher level in keyboard study. Classes focus on piano repertoire, music theory, and ensemble playing. Campers receive individual instruction from artist-faculty, and masterclasses and recitals provide ample performance opportunities. Piano campers join band, orchestra and choir campers in 3rd and 7th hour elective classes.
Cancellation Policy
In the event a camper must cancel, the Summer Camps Office should be notified no later than one month before the start date of the camp session in order to receive a refund, less a non-refundable deposit of $100. Requests received after that date will not receive a refund. No refunds will be made for withdrawal due to homesickness, sending a camper home for disciplinary reasons, or after the camp has started.
In the event a camper requests to switch camp sessions, an additional $25 processing fee will be applied.
We reserve the right to cancel any camp due to low enrollment; in such a case, all fees paid will be refunded or the camper can choose to apply fees to a different camp/class in the same year.
Overpayments of less than $10 will not be refunded.
