Join us July 19-25, 2026 at Eastern Illinois University!

Get ready for an unforgettable week at Eastern Music Camp! For one week, students in grades 5 through 12 dive into the camp track they love most. You can pick band, choir, jazz, musical theatre, piano, or strings and spend your days working with EIU faculty in rehearsals, sectionals, classes, and master sessions. Nights are all about fun with concerts, karaoke, a talent show, a pizza and pool party, and a big closing dance. The week finishes with a final performance for family and friends that shows off everything you’ve learned at EIU.

Founded in 1947 by then Music Department Chair Leo J. Dvorak, we're proud of our long tradition of supporting young musician's educational experiences. Explore all of our pages for more information!
