FAQs

How old must I be to attend Music Camp?

Ohio Camp adult students must be at least 18 years of age. Children and Youth ages 8-17 may participate in Children/Youth Camp.

No previous instruction is necessary. This camp is for anyone who is interested in taking their musical abilities to the next level. The starting place is less important than the desire to learn and the willingness to be taught. Our goal is simply to help each person attending take “the next step” forward in their pursuit of excellence.

We recommend that students begin their music study with Rudiments and Sight Singing alongside choir participation.

Due to homework assignments and the full schedule, we recommend enrolling in two classes and using the additional class period for study and homework.
Homework is a regular requirement of SCMC classes. Because the schedule is full and study time is minimal, campers should plan to use one class period as a regular study period.

Changes to class selections are permitted until April 15 for Ohio Camp, after which a $25 fee will be charged. Desired changes should be directed to the registrar via the Contact Us page. Changes requested by instructors during the camp week will incur no charge.

SCMC campers participate in both a mixed choir and mass mixed choir. Choir members complete a questionnaire (choir rubric) which guides the process of creating balanced choirs. See the Choirs page for more details about the choirs.

Applications for Adult Full-time and Part-time students will be accepted through May 15, as space is available; however, applications received after April 1 will incur an additional $25 fee to cover additional processing expenses. Applications received after May 1 will incur an additional $50 fee. We do not guarantee the availability of books and music for students applying after May 1.

 

Mass Choir applications are accepted through June 10.

Your attendance at chapels, classes, and choir rehearsals maximizes your camp experience. Your absence impacts you and your classmates and fellow choir members. Please do not be absent without first communicating with administration.
Lodging for the week is available in area homes Sunday – Sunday (8 nights) at Ohio Camp. Lodging before or after these dates may be arranged upon request. If you prefer, you may arrange your own lodging.
