Founded in 1937, the New England Music Camp has been dedicated to providing a superb summer environment for music-making. The camp site offers comfortable housing and dining accommodations, a canteen, an infirmary staffed 24 hours a day with a full-time registered nurse, plus many spacious rehearsal and practice facilities. The daily camp schedule includes rehearsal times as well as time for sports, waterfront activities, practicing and free time. Recreational activities available at camp include swimming, canoeing, tennis, volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer, and badminton. A staff of professional musicians serve as coaches and cabin counselors assisted by NEMC's staff of counselors and certified lifeguards.
Financial aid is available in the form of camper workships.
