Testimonials:
"My shy little rising 7th grader, who had never been to sleepaway, was intrinsically motivated to be a part of the camp after getting a tour of the grounds. She loved the independence, and I loved knowing how well she was watched over. On check-in day we were surrounded by enthusiastic greetings of friends who were excited the week was finally starting. The end of week performances were a fabulous celebration of the practice done, but when Grant Moore announced the big news that the following year would be the first year high school graduates could return for one more extra summer of camp, the cheers were deafening. It brought tears to my tears to hear how clearly valuable this experience is and how much the kids don’t want to let it go. They love being there together, and I cannot thank the staff enough for their extensive individual experiences that they bring to share and their dedication to providing a nurturing and education experience to each child."

"The Elizabethtown College Music Camp not only is a place to foster musicianship in young people, but is also a great way to experience what it’s like to be a music student in college! The time I spent as a camper is special to me not only because I grew as a musician, but because of the connections I made there—with faculty, counselors, and other campers. A bonus was that I got to do both orchestra AND choir!"
