Articles to be Furnished by Camper
Camp members will be expected to furnish their pillows, blankets, towels, soap and other toilet articles. The campers must
also furnish sheets, pillowcases and clothes hangers. Campers will be expected to keep their rooms in good condition at
all times.
Clothing
Summer Music Campers receive highly favorable comments, not only about their orderly conduct, but on their neat
appearance as well. Informal clothing in good taste is the usual dress for the day. Jeans, long pants, and shorts are
appropriate. Bring a good pair of walking shoes or sneakers and remember it’s always nice to have a second pair in case
they get soaked during a downpour! Don’t forget that dress for the Gala Concert is simply the camp T-shirt with khaki
dress slacks, capris, skirts & dress shoes..
The Grand Finale Concert, open to the public, will be held at 2:00 P.M. in Becker Auditorium in the Donald B. Cerf
Center on June 20th, 2015.
Thursday Night Variety/Talent Show
All students are encouraged to participate and will be auditioned on Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 PM of camp week. Please
prepare something in advance of camp and bring two additional copies of music should you wish to use the
services of the camp accompanist. We would like to see a variety of talents including instrumental playing, singing,
dramatic monologue, dance, etc.

Camp Staff
Camp staff is a major factor in providing a happy and rewarding experience for the camp participants. The staff/counselor
selection process includes intensive screening and an interview with each staff member. Staff/counselors are selected on
the basis of experience, maturity, judgment, and desire to share skills with camp participants.
Leaving the Camp
Campers DO NOT have permission to leave campus or ride in automobiles during the camp period except with parents or
for purposes of transport by camp staff to receive emergency medical services. The policy is anchored in our desire to
take every precaution to be certain that all campers are adequately supervised during the camping period. Those students
who must leave campus for one reason or another MUST COMPLETE A “LEAVE OF ABSENCE FORM” available upon
registration. PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THESE PROCEDURES.
