CAMP FACILITIES: All events and activities take place on the beautiful Mount St. Mary's University campus, which includes three performance halls. Students reside in single, air-conditioned rooms in a newly-built residence hall and enjoy meals prepared in the campus dining hall.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The International Music Institute and Festival USA offers a stimulating and nurturing environment where each aspect of the individual experience is given careful thought and attention. Our dynamic summer music festival is for violin, viola, cello, and piano. The short but intense 10-day program is filled with private lessons, chamber music, and interdisciplinary seminars and workshops, culminating with solo and chamber ensemble performances. Enrollment is limited, facilitating an intense musical experience as well as lasting friendships.

World-class faculty include such renowned musicians as Jonathan Carney (concertmaster of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra), Brian Ganz (faculty at Peabody Conservatory, winner of Silver Medal at Queen Elizabeth Competition), Chin Kim (faculty at Mannes School of Music, winner of Silver Medal at Queen Elizabeth Competition), Blanka Bednarz (faculty at Dickinson College), Cecylia Barczyk (faculty at Towson University), and many others dedicated to assisting the next generation of musicians achieve their musical and personal goals. Students will have opportunities to work with each of these faculty members, whether it be in private lessons, chamber music coachings, or master classes. They will eat in the same dining hall, be available for answering questions, and perform recitals at IMIF. IMIF is exceptionally international: each year we welcome young musicians from around the world. Recent participants have joined us from Iceland, Estonia, Norway, Germany, Russia, Israel, Mexico, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Argentina, and Canada (as well as across the USA).

In addition to our core curriculum of solo and chamber music, we include interdisciplinary arts experiences in which participants experience a holistic approach to music education. They learn how to take care of their bodies and prevent performance injuries, feel more confident and become more expressive on stage, and practice more effectively. Workshop topics include: Performance Psychology, Introduction to Dance and Movement, Ensemble and Collaborative Skills (theatre workshop), Improvisation, Careers in Music, Stage Presence, and Effective Practicing.

Applicants are also encouraged to seek out sponsors in their communities, e.g. schools, arts or civic organizations, private donors, and local businesses. Past participants have successfully found support to pay tuition and travel expenses through grants, donations from family and friends, and benefit concerts.

OTHER CAMP INFO: One of the really unique aspects of this summer music course is the five-day concert tour that follows the institute. Selected participants who apply for this tour are given the opportunity to perform concerts in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. Participants stay with local families, and enjoy receptions, sight-seeing, and shopping.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Camp Sonshine's Leader-in-Training (LIT) and Counselor-in-Training Programs equip teens with leadership skills they can use through�out their lives. Teens will learn important leadership skills, such as:

�Teamwork
�Responsibility
�Communication
�Problem solving
�Community Service
�And many more!

We teach these vital life skills in a safe environment through fun and challenging group leadership sessions as well as hands-on experience working with kids alongside trained counselors. LITs and CITs help maintain group control, create a safe environment, and assist in activities while putting their leadership skills into practice.

This well-renowned program is approved for student service learning hours as required for High School graduation. Teens have also used this type of leadership experience to put on applications to such organizations as the National Honor Society and various colleges.

CAMP FACILITIES: There is a large room for the activities of each language group. We have kitchen facilities where your child's lunch can be stored and an outdoor field for children to go out to play when the weather permits. We also have WIFI and a projector and large screen at our disposal.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Children become part of a theatre troupe, and are immersed in ESL (English as a Second Language), French, Chinese or Spanish. There is a performance at the end of each two-week session. Daily activities include: sports, theatre and music games, crafts and practice for a performance.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: CIT is for young teens who already can speak fluently or who are almost fluent in the target language. They pay as campers and will be helped to refine their language skills and to learn how to work with younger students. They will be assigned specific tasks each day and discuss the day with the counselors daily. At the end of camp, each one who participated successfully will be able to receive a recommendation from the director in the case that they apply to work at another camp. They also may become eligible eventually to be paid assistants in our camp when they are old enough (currently 18).

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Early enrollment receives a 20% discount (February) and a 10% March 1 - 15. No registration fee until March 15th. All campers pay a materials fee of $10.00 a week.

At this time there is no formal scholarship or financial aid program, but if your family has a hardship, contact the director.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): The children will learn their target language, theatre and music through games and exercises daily, and through these experiences, build a show to share with their parents. All activities - music, theatre, crafts, sports, recess, and games - will be used by the staff to lead to an enrichment in the target language. The program attracts both those who are fluent (who concentrate mostly on the arts aspect and the fun and who can become leaders, helping their peers to speak better) and those who are beginners and of various levels of language speaking.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: French, Chinese and Spanish lessons at the same location. See online schedule.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Children focus on the theatre skills; we focus on their language skills. This is a dramatic way to prepare your child for this global economy!

The director, Kaaren Agnez, has a professional theatre background. Counselors are trained in theatre and working with children and speak their target language fluently; most are natives. All speak at a native level: most are native speakers. Your children will learn the best of movement and improvisational theatre techniques, and all that in a way that helps them to speak another language.
