Mountainside Camps 2025

We are happy to announce our 2025  amateur summer string programs! Violin, viola, cello, and double bass players at intermediate levels are encouraged to register now!

CHAMBER STRINGS is a 5 day intensive Strings camp including small Chamber groups, orchestra and more. The dates are July 7-11 ( a very lucky week!) 2025. 

CELLO FOCUS is a 10 hour weekend intensive for cellists with the theme being "Musical Expression". We are proposing a new plan this year!  We are holding Cello Focus on the weekend following Chamber Strings. Dates are July 12 -13. 

We chose to try this option in order to accommodate cellists who travel long distances and who would love to attend both programs. NOTE: Chamber Strings ends Friday at lunch with afternoon concert following. Cello Focus starts Saturday morning and runs till Sunday afternoon. 

Register for both programs and get 10% off Cello Focus tuition. Register at our early bird rate and get an additional discount.
