By designing their own daily schedule, students are given the opportunity to participate in several performing groups and ensembles. Students may undertake more than one instrument and/or voice if desired, all for one fee! Weekly concerts and recitals provide students with frequent performance opportunities. All students are encouraged to participate in Camp Recitals that cover a range of styles and genres with various levels of complexity. Daily classes and rehearsals, individual coaching and weekly private lessons further the student’s musical experience.
Concerts, workshops, master classes and recitals are also offered by professional artists throughout the summer. The faculty include professional educators, solo artists, composers and conductors. Daily supervised recreational, sports and/or social activities are also enjoyed by the students. The total experience is extremely rewarding both musically and socially.
Below is the complete list of offerings for our 2026 Music Program. Audition information can be found under the “Performing Groups” and “Ensembles & Masterclasses” subcategories, as well as on their respective individual pages.
Private lessons with our professional faculty are offered once per week ($90 per hour; $45 per half hour). Students may also choose to take lessons on more than one instrument.

“The highest praise I can give the exceptional Eastern U.S. Music Camp was to send my own son Cole to the camp for two summers in a row. He absolutely loved the experience in every way. He has gone on to receive numerous accolades, including two DownBeat student awards for performance and composition, as well as a full scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. His experience at Eastern U.S. Music Camp laid the foundation for the success he has achieved.”
