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).
