Camp History
Join us July 16-22, 2023, on the campus of Eastern Illinois University for the 75th anniversary of Eastern Music Camp! 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. In 2022, all camps were $525 for the week, inclusive of all instruction, housing, meals, and social activities. Registration will open no later than February 1, 2023.
Our Camps 
A typical day includes six classes -- four specific to the camp the student is attending, and two electives. Instrumental Jazz and Musical Theatre have their own courses designed to complement the material presented in the performance part of the instructional day. Instruction lasts from 8:30-4:00, and evenings include social activities and a series of concerts by faculty, staff, and students.
