This four-day workshop (July 25-28, 2026) provides opportunities for adults to participate in the camp experience.  Come and explore your artistic passion and enjoy a few days in our community.  Large ensembles, chamber music, and a maximum of two private lessons are available.  You choose your own schedule and you can be in more than one ensemble while at camp! 

     

Participants in Studio Art will have a chance to work on visual art with guidance from our professional faculty.  Plenty of studio time is built into the program.

The Brass Band camp is the official summer camp for the North American Brass Band Association, Inc.

     

You will live in the dorms, eat in the dining hall, and have plenty of time for recreation and socializing.  Concerts and exhibits conclude the session.  Participants must be 21 years or older.

Adult campers wishing to camp need to contact the International Peace Garden about reserving campsites.  www.peacegarden.com
