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.

DAILY SCHEDULE

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).

 

Masterclasses, group rehearsals, and adventures with Eagle Bluff naturalists take place after lunch, and evenings are reserved for Festival Concerts (7:00p) and socializing.

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are dedicated to Student Concerts and tours, the Root River Trail bike ride, ice cream in town and down time.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.

Artaria inspires compassion through chamber music performances and education, mentors individuals as they express themselves in a multifaceted artistic landscape, and gives voice to significant compositions of all past and living composers.
