My daughter loves the camp! She loves being able to focus on her art. I asked her what made camp different than her other performance experiences. She said the instructors really teach you how to hone your craft in depth. Instruction she hasn't had anywhere else. The money is worth it if you have a child that truly wants to go far in their art.

I read a review about kids doing chores & have to respond to the review. The kids at the camp do chores called capers & get points creating a competition. I think this is fantastic. As a high school teacher, I can attest that a lot of students don't clean up after themselves. When asked why. They say "that's the janitor's job". I think having kids do capers is great. It creates a sense of community, self respect, and helps them become more independent.

I'm glad my daughter is at this camp having fun and learning. Thank you Interlochen.
