Welcome Message
Heather Lee, Dean of Admission
I am thrilled you are interested in Interlochen Arts Camp. Interlochen has a special place in my heart because all three of my boys attended Camp at Interlochen. If your student is artistic, this is the best place for them to explore their creativity and gain confidence. Here, they will get the absolute best artistic education, while finding like-minded friends who love art and music as much as they do. Interlochen is truly a magical place unlike any other. I hope to see your application soon!
