Calling all musicians!
Get ready for an unforgettable week at the  Lee University Music Camp, happening June 15–20, 2026. This summer camp is designed for students entering 9th grade through incoming college freshmen who love music and want to grow as musicians (and for the first time, our Jazz Track is accepting high school and collegiate students).

Spend a week performing music, making friends, and developing your skills! You’ll perform in ensembles like band, choir, chamber strings, piano, or jazz combos, while also exploring  music theory, music history, and specialized areas that match your interests. Whether you’re passionate about performance or curious to learn more about music as an art, there’s something here for you.

You’ll learn from Lee University School of Music faculty and visiting professionals, alongside enthusiastic camp staff made up of Lee music grads and advanced students who’ve been exactly where you are right now. You can expect judgment-free music making, exceptional individualized instruction, and an inspiring campus experience you won’t forget.

Come sing, play, learn, and be part of the music this summer!

Camp Tracks

Daily Schedule

Each day begins with an all-camp chapel at 8:20. At 9:00 everyone moves into a music theory class or jazz theory if on the Jazz Track. The remainder of the day is spent in a track-appropriate combination of rehearsals, music history classes, seminar classes, aspects of worship classes, master classes, or aural skills classes. After dinner and  free time, there is an evening concert and a social activity before ending the day with small group devotionals held in the dorms at curfew.

Concerts

A concert is presented each evening and the final morning of camp. These concerts spotlight piano, vocal, instrumental, and jazz musicians from the Lee University faculty as well as professional guests and friends of Lee. The Jazz Track, Piano Track, and Worship Leader Track participants present concerts on Friday night of camp. The camp large ensembles (choir, chamber strings, and band) present the final camp concert Saturday morning. Parents are invited to all the concerts Tuesday night through Saturday morning.
