How Camp Works

At Olentangy Summer Strings Camp, we're all about igniting a passion for music in young musicians through the sheer joy of making music with friends! Our camp a vibrant and fun-filled environment where your child can enhance their musical skills and knowledge. Led by our talented and experienced teachers, our orchestras and small groups are designed to inspire and elevate every participant from 6th through 9th grade.

When you register your child for our camp they'll be placed by our team into one of our six camp orchestras tailored to their playing experience and grade level, ensuring a perfect mix of fun and learning. Each group dives into specialized activities like music reading games, alternate style instruction, improvisation, small ensemble coaching, and even instrument repair classes, all crafted just for them!   

 

​Just for students in grades 7-9, the adventure continues with the option of an overnight stay!  They can room with friends and enjoy awesome off-campus outings like bowling and swimming.  Overnight space is limited by our dorm accomodations, so students who want to stay overnight should register early as space is limited!

The early registration pricing that you see below will be in effect until April 15th.  Once you've selected a camp package, head over to the registration page to sign up and provide all the details we need to ensure your child has an unforgettable camp experience!
