Campus Map
SENIOR HIGH CAMP is more varied than the others since students all have varied needs. This camp is
designed to be flexible enough to identify students who have basic needs on their
instruments, while also identifying students preparing for All-State auditions or
collegiate entrance auditions as majors. Specialized instructors are assigned based
on the specific needs of the students. The schedule has more structured free time
than other camps, but still manages students' time effectively to guarantee safety.
- 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.
