Summer camps are more than just a fun break — they’re a vital spark. They give both teachers and students a chance to grow, connect and come back to their classrooms in the fall more inspired, more confident and more appreciative of the work you do all year long.
I know educators need the summer to recharge and you deserve that break, but if you can get your students to just one camp — whether it’s a regional experience, a national gathering or something you host yourself — it can make a lasting impact.
We’ve put together a rough list of choral and show choir summer camps that we think are worth a look. These are places where your students can thrive, create and bring something new back to your program.
