| Have a highly advanced viola player that will be a rising 7th grader next fall. Any suggestions on summer camps in or nearby Alexandria? |
| I’ve never heard of camps but we like opal music for extra lessons |
| The AYP summer strings camp is good. |
| We had a great experience here: https://www.stringtimemusic.org/ |
| SoCo Strings Summer Camp is good. My kids have been going there for 2 summers now. It’s usually in mid July. |

ACPS runs a summer music camp. My daughter did it for her band instrument but she had only been playing a couple years.

For a highly advanced young string player, consider the Heifetz program. It'll be some distance from you, though. https://heifetzinstitute.org/institute/2025-summer-program/
Otherwise, you'd be best off with a sleepaway program. |
