Upper Midwest String Camp

The Upper Midwest String Camp is jointly sponsored by the College of Saint Benedict in St. Joseph and MNSOTA. This is the ideal summer program for 7th through 12th-grade students eager to develop their string playing through chamber music, string orchestra, and technique classes. There is no entrance audition; all students are accepted in the order in which they apply. On the first day of camp, teachers hear students play to assess their experience in order to divide students according to age and ability for daily orchestra and chamber group rehearsals. The faculty of distinguished artist-teachers is aided by a corps of outstanding college student teaching interns, making possible considerable individual attention.
