Stringwood students, counselors, and faculty lodge at the Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center, a 250-acre campus featuring restored prairies, hardwood forests, and breathtaking views of the Root River Valley.
Climate-controlled, two-bedroom suites with private bathrooms are located in a modern air-conditioned dormitory which features a complimentary laundry room and ping-pong table. The Discovery Center houses a superb rock wall and archery where every chamber group is assigned a dedicated rehearsal room for the duration of camp.
A scenic paved roadway is available for daily running, and students can explore miles of forest trails, taking part in naturalist-led wildlife adventures, canoeing, and high-ropes challenge courses. These activities are designed to build the same skills needed on stage: teamwork, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

Monday through Friday mornings begin with breakfast (7:30a) followed by personal practice or a weekly private lesson (8:30a), a chamber music rehearsal (9:30a) and a coaching with a member of the Artaria String Quartet or Guest Artist (10:30a).
