For 73 years, Pacific Music Camps have been inspiring young people from around California and beyond in music performance and production.

Directed by Conservatory of Music professor Steve Perdicaris for the past 20 years, the camps have enriched the summer slump for thousands of young people, giving them the opportunity to grow and develop their skills in band, orchestra, choir, jazz and piano.

More recent additions of a music business camp and music theatre camp have quickly become very popular. Approximately 400 youth attend the camps each year, getting exposure to college life, making new friends, and strengthening their skills.

Here's a sneak peak into the camp experience:
