Summer Music Programs

Specialties

Summer Music Programs is an award-​winning music camp on the Philadelphia Main Line. We bring young musicians together to meet and play with other musicians — and, most importantly, to play the music they want to play.

A member of our staff works full-​time with each band as they:

* Pick and learn songs — of their own choosing! We encourage our campers to play the songs they want to play.

* Prepare for their recording session in a professional studio.

* Rehearse for their live performance in the weekly concert, and

* Receive an audio CD of their studio session — a first for many kids.

Rehearsals are held in air conditioned dorm rooms on the beautiful and historic Harcum College campus, just minutes outside of Philadelphia. Recording sessions take place at state-​of-​the-​art, award-​winning studios, and concerts are held on Friday afternoons (Day program) and Friday evenings (Overnite program).

History

Established in 1993.

Summer Music Programs was founded in 1993 to give young musicians the opportunity to meet and play with other musicians.

We’ve since expanded, and have gone on to receive accommodations such as the Philadelphia Magazine «Best of Philly» 2008 award for best summer camps and Main Line Magazine 2007 award for Coolest Camps on the Main Line.
