Residential (sleepaway) classical music camp on Lake Luzerne in the Adirondacks for gifted young musicians ages 9-18, founded in 1980. Campers train in large and small ensembles with private lessons and choice-based group classes across junior and senior sessions, on a 20-acre wooded campus with a private lakefront beach, canoes and kayaks. Roughly 65-70% of attendees receive scholarship support.

★★★★★Ilaria O'KeefeDefinitely should be in the list of top 5 music camps in the US
★★★★★Marija ŽivanovićWeek after week, new musical pieces are introduced, which the students must master and perform in concert under the guidance of outstanding music educators. But the intensity doesn't bother them, as the children enjoy wonderful friendships, encourage and support one another, and make progress in every way. Luzerne Music Center is the best place for any child involved in music who wants to grow, and when it all comes to an end, it feels like a beautiful dream.
