[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid attends Interlochen for music, and I work at the camp (not in a teaching role), so I see a fair amount.[b] The elementary school kids only have one program choice - general arts.[/b] They spend four hours a day doing art (drawing, painting, ceramics, mixed materials) and the rest of the time doing other camp activities. They have the same instructors as the high schoolers, but since it’s not a competitive admission process, there will be a wide range of abilities. So the instruction will be there, but it will be pretty low key. Classes will be mixed between about ages 8 and 11.

I think it would be a great experience for a kid that wants the overnight camp experience with a heavy focus on art. The kids always look like they are having a great time. Plus, socially, they will be surrounded by kids with similar interests.

Let me know if you have any other Interlochen questions. We are pretty friendly with the ceramics teacher. I don’t think it checks all your boxes, but it may be worth considering.

This is not true anymore. If your child wants to focus on Visual Arts, they can. DS was at Interlochen for the past two summers as a junior camper in Visual Arts. The good thing about Interlochen at the junior level in Visual Arts is that there is no portfolio requirement for admission. This changes as your camper ages. Basically, it's first come first served at this age for Visual Arts. Also, once your camper is in, they are given the opportunity to reenroll the following summer before applications open to the general public.
