Summers at New England Music Camp are magical! Each year, 150-160 students from all across the country join together on the beautiful 40-acre lakefront campus for an enriching experience of music, fun, and friendship.
The programs at NEMC are designed to give students ages 9-19 the opportunity to immerse themselves in music while still enjoying the fun and friendship of summer.
Music at NEMC
NEMC features a wide range of musical options for all campers
Our 1:4 faculty-to-student ratio provides an environment rich in sharing and learning. Students and their teachers at home often remark that “one summer of music at NEMC is like a year at home”!
Instrumentalists and vocalists at New England Music Camp spend their mornings in four one-hour periods of music taught by a prestigious faculty of professional performers and educators from universities, colleges, and highly recognized public and private school music programs.
Recreation & Social
Get ready for serious fun
All cabin activities, social events, and recreational activities are led by a counseling staff made up of professional Head Counselors who oversee a staff of 20 college students. A counselor’s primary role is to support and encourage each camper.
Facilities & Performance Venues
Our beautiful lakeside campus is home to historic buildings and some of the finest performance facilities in the country.
Community-Centered
Building community from the ground up
Beginning in Summer 2023, New England Music Camp will be moving toward a more community-centered model. In order to create a deeper sense of community, all faculty, staff, administration, counselors, and campers will share responsibilities at concerts, in the cabins, at meals, etc. Because of this change, we will no longer be offering work study since the entire camp will now be sharing these responsibilities.
Each person at camp is required to sign up for 1-2 hours of community service each week. This could include handing out brochures at concerts, delivering mail, helping set up for meals, etc. We are looking forward to this transition and acknowledge that people may have questions or concerns. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Thea Hollman at thea.hollman@snowpond.org.
