Summer Is In The Air (No, Really!)

Post date January 29, 2016

It may be wintry and snow-clad outside, but Summer is on our brain around here. We have posted our Summer Arts at Mason camp line-up and are taking registrations. Our popular programs start filling quickly, so get a headstart on your summer planning!

We have weekly camps running from end of June through mid-August. The majority of our camps are full-day programs (9am-3/4pm), with some exceptions. A selection of our programs now have a new overnight Residential option, where older kids can stay in the campus dorms and enjoy special evening activities.

Check out this photo slideshow from the 2014 Composition & Songwriting Workshops:

Reserve your spot today! You can also take advantage of our Split Payment option during registration – pay half when you enroll, and the other half won’t be charged until June 1st.
