Bryn Mawr Summer Camps

Summer Music Programs is the most unique music camp on the planet! While some kids come to play rock, we're not a rock camp. While some kids come to play jazz, we're not a jazz band camp. SMP is a place where all styles of music are embraced. What we offer is a quality program of playing music with other kids who like the same kind of music that you do. We've had kids play all types of Rock, Jazz even country and classical. We even encourage original material. We also welcome all types of instruments. We certainly have a lot of kids come who play guitars, bass and drums but also keyboards, woodwinds, brass and even electric violin and harmonica. And let's not forget voice - that's an instrument, too.

SMP is a great place if you are an individual looking for other kids to play with but it's also the perfect place if you're in a band. You'll rehearse to get your material tight and then record at a world class, Grammy Award winning recording studio. You'll even design your own custom CD and have it in your hands by the end of the week. And to top it off you'll perform in concert on a stage with top sound equipment and lights. We'll record your performance and send you an edited DVD. Check out our website for pictures, videos and audio files.

We offer a Day Program and an Overnite Program. Each program is weekly. You can come for one week or as many as you want! We also accept enrollment all summer long.

We won the 2007 "Coolest Summer Camp" on the Main Line and the 2008 "Best Of Philly" Summer Camp from Philadelphia Magazine!

Summer Music Programs is located on the beautiful and historic Harcum College campus in Bryn Mawr, PA. just minutes outside of Philadelphia. Rehearsals are held on campus in air-conditioned dorm rooms and recording sessions at state of the art, award winning studios.

While our hope is that you have a wonderful experience at Summer Music Programs, our primary concern is safety. Harcum College has safety officers on duty 24/7. The floors that house the dorms and rehearsal rooms are swipe card protected. We even have our own exclusive overnight security guard stationed in the hall while the kids sleep. We also have a zero tolerance policy regarding drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons etc. For more detail please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions or visit our website.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Chet Makowski

SIG at Bryn Mawr College, PA, provides academically advanced students ages 5-17 with an exciting and challenging educational experience.

The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG. Our programs provide students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and the presence of an assistant in every class, we are able to individualize the program for each and every student.

The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well-equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals.

The faculty at this dynamic music camp is comprised of members of the world-renown Philadelphia Orchestra (TPO). The two-week festival includes two-four private lessons with members of TPO, master classes, solo performance and competition opportunities, daily orchestra rehearsals, an optional chamber music program, private practice instruction, choir, music education courses, private recitals presented by members of TPO, and much more. The program is designed for students of all ages (8-19 years of age), and includes six orchestra levels!
