For 78 years, National Music Camp has helped young musicians learn, grow, and thrive through exceptional musical experiences and life-changing opportunities. Since our beginning, over 6,000 young people have attended an NMC, and alumni have gone on to perform, teach, or be leaders in their fields outside of music. This year alone, 43% of participants received financial assistance, helping break down barriers to participation.

This year, we are pleased to launch the National Music Camp Alumni Scholarship Fund, a new fund created through the collective generosity of our alumni community. It is a gift from one generation of musicians to the next, that ensures talent, passion, and potential are the determining factors of experiencing NMC – not financial status.  

Every gift, of any size, will make a meaningful difference when combined with the generosity of fellow alumni. Even a modest contribution can ease financial pressure and help make Camp possible for a young musician. 

Thank you for helping the next generation of Campers find their place in our orchestra.
