Interlochen Summer Camp

It seemed like just yesterday we were spending our summer days at camp, in the pool with friends, or on vacation. Now, the leaves are already changing and we're back in school. We'll if you are already missing summer as much as we are, here's a final thought on how much fun summer camps are from Katherine Jacobsen, who had a great time at the Interlochen Camp this summer:

This summer I was lucky enough to spend three weeks at an arts camp called Interlochen. Interlochen is situated in northern Michigan right by a scenic lake. I auditioned for flute and was accepted in the wind symphony. The usual day at Interlochen was spent attending classes according to your major. My classes consisted of symphony rehearsal, music theory class, private lessons, practice time and one elective. The weekends (which was Sunday and Monday) were spent doing pretty much whatever you wanted. You could attend performances, do any water activities, walk around the campus etc.
One of my favorite parts about Interlochen was the performances I got to attend. Almost every night there were performances offered. I saw jazz concerts, musicals, art galleries and much more. Over all I had an amazing experience at Interlochen. I met people from all over the world, I improved in flute drastically and most importantly I had a lot of fun.
