The Mason String Camp is a week-long intensive program for middle and high school violin, viola, cello, and bass players. Students will learn, rehearse, and perform in an orchestra program over the course of the week. In addition to orchestra, students will participate in sectionals, masterclasses with top-notch music educators from the Northern Virginia area, and daily elective classes carefully curated to enhance their creativity, musicianship, and performance skills.

The Mason String Camp aims to give students a fun, engaging glimpse of student artist life at George Mason University. Students will have the opportunity to work with Dewberry School of Music professors, learn from current George Mason students, eat lunch in Southside Dining Hall, and perform in a culminating concert on Friday in a George Mason performance venue.

Tuition includes lunch on campus Monday - Friday.
