After the first summer he said, 'I definitely think flute is the best instrument ever!'  He has come so far and has developed a deep love of music thanks to the great instructors at Camp Sylvia." --Amy, parent

Dalcroze, Classical Covers, and Art are electives. One elective is included in tuition. Schedule varies by book level and instrument and some activities change daily or are weather-dependent. Students may also add another elective and/or private lessons for an additional fee. During masterclasses, each student usually spends 15-20 minutes with the teacher, observing the remainder of the time. During group classes, students spend 45-60 minutes with the teacher. For all classes, teacher trainees and families are often present to listen and learn. During free time, students are welcome to take advantage of the lake, play set, and boats, or simply read, practice, and enjoy our Minnesota summer.

The Lake Sylvia Flute Camp has a laid back atmosphere. There is a wide range of students from beginner to the more advanced teens and it is a joy to see the older students help the younger children. My daughter has such a great time and she looks forward to the days at camp. On our way home after the first summer, she said, “Can I come back next year?” --Lisa G.
