Campus Map

MIDDLE SCHOOL camp is designed for beginners (students who have completed one year in a band program - 6th graders, but may also include 7th graders) . The primary focus is the fact that campers are probably attending their first "big" camp. Special attention is paid to each student in regard to safety, schedule, and how they are 'feeling' about being at camp. Our student to faculty ratios far exceed the state requirements in this camp to provide a maximum amount of care and management. The design of camp is geared to the 12 year old age group, making use of the most current teaching philosophy and technologies. At camp, each student will get an opportunity to completely review every basic aspect of their instrument to ensure that they are on the road to great fundamentals and a lifetime of music making. The schedule is full, with every minute of the day planned to ensure that the students are actively engaged in safe learning and social activities.

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

All on-campus students will register from 10:00 a.m.-noon on the first day of camp in the appropriate dorm. If it is necessary for you to be late, please notify us in advance. Otherwise, late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
If it is necessary to be late, please notify us in advance. Otherwise, late arrivals cannot be accommodated.

Off-Campus Registration Process

All off-campus students will register at 11:30 a.m. in the Witherspoon Lobby on the first day of camp (Sunday).
All off-campus students will need to check-in daily upon arrival to campus and check out prior to leaving each day.
Campers are not permitted to sign in themselves. If a parent/guardian is unable to do this, a form (available at registration) may be filled out and signed by the parent stating who has permission to drop off and pick up their child.
A sign in/out table will be located in the Camp Business office (Witherspoon 165).

Optional Private Lessons

Students may sign up to take a private lesson while at camp. These lessons are offered at $25.00 per half-hour lesson.
Lessons are scheduled for the student, and the instructor is chosen by the camp director.
Instructors for these lessons are specialists who are hand selected by the director for their skill and experience on each instrument.
Only one lesson per student, please (see link above to register and pay).

Auditions

Auditions for bands are held in Witherspoon Hall on Sunday. See Audition Materials below for a list.
Sight reading will be used for all sessions.
Campers are strongly urged to practice tryout material to ensure proper placement in bands.
Further information about auditions will be given during the orientation meeting on Sunday.
Can my Middle School camper audition for the Jr. High Band? Yes! However, they will be required to complete the audition for both the Middle School and the Jr. High. This means students will need to download both sets of audition materials and will need to have practiced for both auditions before arriving to camp.
