Camp Enrichment Partners support the distinctive programs that make Border Music Camp unique, including our Massed Choir and Composer-in-Residence program.
These signature experiences provide musical opportunities rarely offered at music camps. In the Massed Choir, students from across the camp sing together in a large choir of 200+ voices, developing listening and musical awareness beyond their primary instrument. Through the Composer-in-Residence program, students rehearse and perform new works written especially for them, while learning directly from the composer about the creative process.
Together, these programs foster creativity, collaboration and artistic curiosity, while creating some of the most memorable moments of the camp experience.
