Camp Mission

The goal of Woodwind Camp is to contribute significantly to a student's musical development without diminishing the individual's enjoyment of music. Students are mentored by a faculty of highly trained professional musicians. The outstanding faculty works hard all week to encourage, enable and inspire developing musicians.  Students who have attended Woodwind Camp have gone on to participate in State Solo & Ensemble contest, All State, All Northwest and other competitions.  Additionally, alumni have been offered full tuition scholarships for college.

 The only camp of its kind in the US, Woodwind Camp offers a broad musical curriculum designed to interest and intrigue students.  The active, fast-paced learning environment is enjoyable and challenging.  Specialized classes are offered, including reed making for oboists and bassoonists (five days a week!).   Junior Camp is recommended for students who have completed grades 4-8 and Senior Camp is recommended for students who have completed grades 9-12.  Students have the option of attending both camps, an excellent idea for advanced younger musicians.  Advanced students can develop their leadership skills as section leaders in Junior Camp and be challenged in Senior Camp.
