Georgia ASTA
Summer Orchestra Camp
Music-Centered Summer Camp
The Georgia American String Teachers Association Summer Orchestra Camp is the perfect camp for your 4th through 9th grade violin, viola, cello, or bass student. For over 30 years, we have been one of the premier summer camps for string students, focusing on string pedagogy, orchestral experience, and of course, plenty of fun around the edges. Our experienced counseling staff provide a positive and supportive environment where campers can learn additional skills and navigate new experiences.
ASTA Camp Location
ASTA Camp is house at the Calvin Center located in Hampton, Georgia. It’s close to home, but just far enough for our campers to have the full overnight camp experience! Calvin Center’s beautiful campus is surrounded by nature and provides the perfect camp experience for campers of all ages.
A Camp For All Levels
Our overnight camp programs offer campers of all experience levels a place to succeed. Our conductors and counselors are all experienced certified teachers in schools across all levels and come from various counties all over Georgia. With skill level appropriate repertoire, small group rehearsals, an expert staff, and a host of fun camp activities, everyone from first time campers to experienced performers will find a place to grow musically while having fun.
Camp Sessions
Session 1
May 29th - June 1st, 2024
Session 1 Camp is open to current 4th through 6th grade students with one or more years of experience.
This is the perfect first or second camp experience for students who have a little experience but aren't quite ready for the rigors of the advanced camp. Intermediate to advanced students who have just completed 4th or 5th grade with 2+ years of experience as well as beginning to intermediate 6th grade students (1+ year of experience) will find this camp the perfect balance of challenges and fun! Space is limited, so register early!
Session 2
June 2nd - June 5th, 2024
Session 2 Camp is open to current 7th through 9th grade students with two more years of experience.
This is the best camp around for intermediate to advanced 6th through 9th grade orchestra students with 2+ years of experience who want to hone their skills and have fun at the same time! This camp is limited to 60 students and sells out every year, so register early if you want to insure you've got a spot!
