Spend two weeks in a camp designed to refine your musical skills and hone your creativity. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation of music as you learn from expert musicians. By participating in practices, competitions, and performances, you’ll stretch your skills on a daily basis. Surrounded by other talented young musicians, you’ll learn about music’s part in history, culture, and worship—and how to use music to reach others for Christ.
Registration is open to campers from 14 to 18 years old who have just completed or are entering into grades 9–12.

While at Music Academy, you’ll be performing both individually and within ensembles. There are so many vocal, choral, and orchestral groups available for you to join! When you arrive, you’ll be placed with an ensemble of other campers that match your unique skills, and you’ll perform with them throughout the week.
Choose piano, voice, or an orchestral instrument to focus on while you’re at camp. (Choose only one.)
Make an audio or video recording of yourself performing 1–2 pieces to show your current ability.
Submit your recording to info@nextsummercamps.com. (Most file formats are accepted.)

All instrumentalists and vocalists should be prepared to do a brief, live demo for finalizing orchestra seating and vocal ensembles.
For pianists, the live demo will include playing a familiar song (your choice) from a hymnal. We also group pianists together for piano duets and ensembles.
However you spend your free time, you’ll be spending it with newfound friends. From climbing the rock wall to cooling off at the ice-skating rink or testing your skills on the FlowRider—it’s all waiting for you.
You’ll learn from accomplished musicians and experienced Pensacola Christian College music faculty. Many of them have studied under the late Dr. Alberto Jaffé or his wife, Daisy DeLuca Jaffé—the developers of the well-known Jaffé Strings Method and Advanced Piano Relaxation Techniques.
