Information about Summer Arts and Music 2026 will be available in late January.

For over 30 years, our beloved Summer Arts and Music Program has been a place where young artists thrive. Designed for students ages 5–12, this four-week, full day enriching program offers a joyful mix of music and arts experiences led by our talented, world-class faculty.


Have an older student ready to lead? Ages 12 to 14 are invited to join our Counselor In Training (CIT) program! In addition to our range of music activities, participants will also have a dedicated CIT block to develop leadership and mentoring skills.
