Summer music camp on the UW-Madison campus is a creative
and fun way to improve music-making skills. You will work
side-by-side with talented young musicians from around the
Midwest and still have time for camp socializing and recreation.
After a week of concentrated rehearsals and classes, your family
and friends are invited to hear you perform at the final concerts.
Many campers arrive at our program and meet their roommates
for the first time. Campers make new friends as a natural
extension of the Music Clinic residence and learning experience.
Our caring counselors and daily floor meetings make it easy for
dorm residents to get to know new people. If you do not include
a friend’s name on your registration form, you are paired by
grade for your dormitory assignment.
You can select a schedule that matches your interests, starting
with your involvement in band, orchestra, choir, musical theater,
and jazz ensemble. Then choose from class options that are
more specific to your personal interests, such as string topics,
jazz percussion, or music theory.
Our enthusiastic counselors offer upbeat and creative activities
for recreation time. You can unwind after classes by joining
others in ultimate Frisbee, aerobics, volleyball or basketball,
board games, jam sessions, arts and crafts, and, maybe
something spontaneous like a water balloon contest.
Highly Qualified Staff
Our teachers are chosen for their talent and excellence as music
educators and are drawn from around the country. Music Clinic
group lesson teachers are specialists, and students acquire
knowledge on topics specific to their areas, such as tone
production and warm ups.
If you choose to be a residential student, you will live in Ogg Hall,
the newest residence on the UW-Madison campus. You’ll spend
your week in spacious rooms, designed as doubles, that are
air-conditioned and have small refrigerators. College-age
counselors supervise you in the residence halls and plan daily
recreation including athletics, crafts, and social activities. In the
evening you also attend concerts performed by guest artists,
faculty members, and students.

Why Attend Summer Music Camp?
Health Insurance
continuingstudies.wisc.edu/smc
For your convenience, health staff members in the dorms and at
University Health Services provide medical care if necessary.
Campers are encouraged to have their own health insurance
where possible, because UW-Madison can only provide limited
accident insurance.
You may request a specific roommate. If you choose this option
you need to include that person’s name on your camp application,
and your friend must include your name on his or her application.
The Clinic office needs to receive requests from both roommates
by the application deadline to honor your preference.
Commuter Option
The commuter camp day begins with Music Clinic rehearsals
and classes at 8am and finishes at 4:30pm. Campers are asked
to check in with commuter counseling staff in the morning and
to check out at the end of the day before leaving campus. The
commuter fee includes tuition, lunch, and a camp T-shirt.
How to Apply
Complete both sides of the application form and mail with check,
or register online. Check one main performing area (band or
orchestra or choir) and then check a class option listed below
based on your performing area. Finally, choose one of the classes
from #1-8 that you will find interesting during camp. Instrumentalists
are welcome to pick Musical Theater as their option.
If you have asked to be paired in the dorm with another person,
please confirm with your friend that your name is listed on his/her
form so the two of you will be matched.
Camp fee: Residential camper fees include all costs for tuition,
housing, meals, camp T-shirt, recreation, and evening concert
activities. Commuter option includes tuition, lunch and a camp
T-shirt only. Residential fee: $598; Commuter fee: $383
There is a $50 nonrefundable processing fee. You will receive an
acceptance letter and detailed camp information after we receive
your application and initial payment.
