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 superb rock wall and archery rooms, and is where every chamber group is assigned a dedicated rehearsal classroom for the duration of camp. 

A scenic paved roadway is available for daily running or walking, and students can explore miles of forest trails, take part in naturalist-led wildlife adventures, canoe, and challenge themselves on the high-ropes courses. These experiences foster the same skills needed on stage: teamwork, critical thinking, and a deep connection to the world around us.

DAILY SCHEDULE

Monday through Friday mornings begin with breakfast (7:30a) followed by personal practice or private lesson (8:30a), chamber music rehearsals (9:30a) and coachings with the Artaria String Quartet and Guest Artists (10:30a).

 

Festival Concerts (7:00p) masterclasses, rehearsals, canoeing,  high-ropes courses, and other adventures with Eagle Bluff naturalists take place in the afternoons and evenings. 

Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays are dedicated to student performances in churches, coffee shops and galleries, regional concert tours, biking on the Root River Trail, ice cream in town and socializing.

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.
