Summer Music Camps
Rowan Summer Music Camps
Hosted by Department Faculty, Rowan Summer Music Camps offer high school students ages 14-18 the opportunity to develop their musical skills while experiencing life on a college campus! With both overnight and commuter options, the five-day camp provides student musicians a chance to explore what it takes to become a music educator, performing artist or industry professional.
Campers will engage in challenging repertoire, ensemble performances, instructional classes, live concerts, special topic sessions and more, while receiving personalized instruction from some of the region's finest music educators and performers.
Designed to challenge beginner and more advanced young musicians, our camps offer a supportive and nurturing environment where students thrive. Campers will build lasting connections with like-minded peers through collaborative team-building activites and develop leadership skills to succeed in their school programs and beyond!

FAQs
Commuter vs Resident?
Our Summer Music Camp has both an overnight or "resident" camper option and a day "commuter" camper option. Commuters will arrive in the mornings and leave after the day's programming concludes, while residents check-in and stay on campus in one of Rowan's residence halls for the duration of camp. Both commuters and residents participate in the same activities throughout the day, including lunch and dinner with the rest of the group. Commuter tuition is $500 and resident camper tuition is $900.
What level of proficiency or experience to directors expect?
All camp sections are open to students ages 14-18 at all skill levels. If you have specific concerns, please reach out to us via email and we will connect you with your camp's director (musiccamps@rowan.edu)
What should I bring/pack?
We reccommend all campers come prepared with:
- Water bottle/refillable bottle (fill stations and fountains available across campus)
- Sunscreen (for outdoor activites)
- Instrument
- A backpack or tote bag
- Pencils and highlighters
- Snacks
- Umbrella or poncho
A more detailed packing list for resident campers is available in our camp handbook.
Will I have fun?
The short answer is YES! Our camp counselors and student workers host a series of team-building activites and games to give campers time away from instruction and rehearsal. Campers will participate in both indoor and outdoor games, scavenger hunts, ice cream socials and enjoy live performances and concerts. Campers are also encouraged to bring football, frisbees or their favorite games to play during the evenings and down time between sessions.
