Band Camp at lake murray resort
The best week of the entire summer!
June 20 – 25, 2021
Join us as we experience Lake Murray as we never have before – in the New Lodge! Our rehearsal spaces and lodge rooms are amazing and state of the art! We are excited to work in these great facilities.
Band Camp is a great opportunity for young musicians to spend a week practicing and learning new music, participating in specialized master classes on each instrument, and studying basic and advanced music theory and history. Students can even learn a second instrument! In addition to the musical opportunities at band camp, campers also participate in a wide range of recreational activities from swimming in beautiful Lake Murray, to horseback riding, frisbee-golf, fishing, paddle-boats, lake cruises to Tucker Tower, and more. At the end of the week, all the bands perform for their parents, friends, and the local community. All this is just the beginning; look around this site for more information about this summers Band Camp at Lake Murray!
