Campus Map

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL camp is designed for students who have completed at least 2 years of band and completed 7th or 8th grade. It is built to prepare students for the rigors of high school band, and to get them on great footing for All-Region preparation. Additionally, we look to be able to identify students who have basic playing errors and correct those. Junior high camp introduces electives, which are selected on the first day of camp, as well as optional private lessons (for a nominal fee) which take place with a qualified instructor on the given instrument. The daily schedule is more like junior high school, remaining structured at all times. Safety remains our highest priority.

• ALL FEES ARE DUE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP. We appreciate your full payment when registering. However, we recognize that sometimes more than one payment is necessary. If you need to make a second payment, please use the same link (you will be prompted to enter all of the same information for your additional payment, but this will not generate a second registration - only the payment amount will be processed). If you are an ATU employee, or are receiving a scholarship (equipment, All-State, Band Boosters, etc.), please contact us via email at band.camp@atu.edu or by calling (479) 968-0324.

Room & Board Information

• On-campus students stay in the dorms and all meals (Sun. lunch-Thur. dinner) are included in the price. (*Thursday's morning there will be a grab & go breakfast,  and lunch at Chambers cafeteria. Middle School students will have a snack provided in  the afternoon before checkout/conclusion of end of camp concerts. Junior High students will be provided pizza for dinner before checkout.)
• Off-campus students are those who live locally and choose not to stay overnight in the dorms. Lunch and dinner each day are included in the price.
• Can Middle School campers and Jr. High campers room together? We would like campers to have the opportunity to room with the peers they will be playing with on concert day. Keeping Middle School campers together, and Jr. High campers together, is the ideal. However, we realize that there is some overlap between grades/schools, and that some students may have siblings they would like to room with. We will be happy to help accommodate this; however, we do ask for written consent from the parents of the Middle School camper who will be bunking with a Jr. High camper.

On-Campus Registration Process
