Core Session at NEMC features a wide range of musical options for all campers!

Our 1:4 faculty-to-student ratio provides an environment rich in sharing and learning. Students and their teachers at home often remark that “one summer of music at NEMC is like a year at home”! 

All cabin activities, social events, and recreational activities are led by a counseling staff made up of professional Head Counselors who oversee a staff of 20 college students. A counselor’s primary role is to support and encourage each camper. 

Beginning in Summer 2023, New England Music Camp will be moving toward a more community-centered model. In order to create a deeper sense of community, all faculty, staff, administration, counselors, and campers will share responsibilities at concerts, in the cabins, at meals, etc. Because of this change, we will no longer be offering work study since the entire camp will now be sharing these responsibilities. 

Our idyllic 40-acre lakeside wooded campus is home to an impressive number of well-maintained buildings, dorms, cabins, and some of the finest performance facilities in the country.
