Encore/Coda has been providing amazing summer musical experiences for young musicians since 1950. Our campers can learn and play together in a variety of ensembles, from band to jazz choirs, as well as try out activities like tennis, sailing, and swimming. Each day is full of learning and fun, with opportunities to make lasting friendships and memories.
At Encore/Coda summer camp, kids of all ages and backgrounds can come together and make beautiful music while building strong relationships that last a lifetime. Our camp is designed to give kids the perfect mix of musical instruction, summer camp activities, and social interaction. With over 70 years of experience, we are delighted to share the joy of musical exploration with the next generation of bright young performers.
Every summer Encore/Coda pairs up a senior camper with a lower camp for our Buddy Program! This fantastic, nurturing program includes writing weekly letters back and forth, Buddy Brunch, and Funday buddy activities!
For Lower Campers, the buddy program gives our youngest campers friends and mentors that they can look up to and aspire to be. They get an older sibling during their time at camp!

CIT Program
Our Camper-In-Transition program offers older campers a chance to gain leadership experience by living in a bunk with younger campers and spending a portion of each day working with them under staff supervision. This program is available to returning as well as new campers who have finished at least their sophomore year of high school by the time camp begins, and is offered only for the full 6 1/2-week season. CITs are selected for having displayed an interest in working with younger children, good judgment, leadership potential and overall maturity.

Conservatory Program
Our Conservatory Program was originally designed for Senior Campers who were preparing for college auditions. We have since opened it up to Intermediates who are looking for a rigorous musical experience and play at a very high level. Since it is level based, admittance to this program is by audition only, via a video or audio recording.
