BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Music has always been an integral part of the Ekone Summer Camp program. From camp song favorites at garden parties, to Ekone-fying classics to original Ekone-inspired songs, we love making music! Music camp will give new and returning campers the opportunity to be inspired by the Ekone magic to write, sing and play to their hearts content.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Horseback Riding, Wilderness/Nature, Swimming, Music/Band, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: We are about 100 miles east of Portland, across the Columbia River in Washington state.
CAMP FACILITIES: We have one large bunkhouse, built in 2019, where all campers sleep, a large, octagonal Lodge, a beautiful brand-new kitchen (first being used in 2023!), a swimming pond, and over 1,200 acres to explore!
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We encourage musicians to bring an instrument, their voice, creativity and a notebook. Campers will spend time out on the land and in community to help uncover the music they'd like to make during the week. They will play music with the land, and in the process learn about the dance between space and sound, deep listening and the origins of music.
There will be time to make music together as a full group, break off into smaller groups and also have opportunities to work on and perform solo music, if desired. Campers will have many chances to share the music that is important to them, to share stories, feelings and thoughts about their influences and inspirations!
There will be talented Ekone staff musicians as well as a handful of guest stars (musicians with real world experience!) to bring all kinds of ideas to the week. The culmination of the session will be to an Ekone-style concert (think extra fancy Garden Party!) giving campers the opportunity to perform in a way supportive environment. If time and equipment allows, we will also try to record some of the music created throughout the week.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We have scholarships available!
When you apply for camp, you can let us know in that application if you'd also like to apply for a scholarship.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Ekone Summer Camp is located on 1,263 acres of mixed oak-pine forest, extensive grasslands, and overlooking the beautiful Rock Creek Canyon in south central Washington state. Our music campers will spend copious amounts of time on the land, hiking, exploring, and being inspired by what nature has to offer us. Ekone also has horse programs, and while music camp will not be riding the horses, there are lots of opportunities to spend some time around the horses.
CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Music Camp at Ekone will be July 16-21, 2023.
