A few fun-filled weeks have passed since First Gathering kicked off the summer, and Interlochen Arts Camp is in full swing.

This year, Interlochen welcomed 3,230 Camp students, hailing from 40 countries and 52 U.S. states and territories. More than 67% of them are enjoying their first summer at Interlochen.

Together, the students have plunged into classes, rehearsals, performances, and Camp Life activities. They’re learning new techniques within their arts disciplines, making friends with other students from around the world, and enjoying the glorious summer weather in northern Michigan.
