Camp Ambassador Resources

We’re thrilled to have you as a Camp Ambassador for the 2026-2027 school year! As an ambassador, your enthusiasm and personal Interlochen story can help others ignite a lifelong passion for the arts. Use the resources below to help you make a list of who you'll contact, make a plan for what you'll share, and make a great impression. 

What will I do as a Camp Ambassador?

You will tell friends, classmates, teachers, and community organizations about Interlochen Arts Camp! Use some examples we brainstormed in the Zoom training (linked below) to help you, and feel free to be as creative as you'd like!

• By December 10: Complete at least one outreach activity in your home community encouraging others to learn about or consider applying to Interlochen Arts Camp. Of course, we'd love it if you completed more than one, but be sure to log your activities and let us know if you need more printed materials mailed to you.
  
  Here are a few examples of activities you can do, but be creative and come up with your own.
  • Hang up Interlochen posters at school, libraries, arts organizations, etc.
  • Speak at a school assembly about your summer at Camp
  • Give a presentation to a school group
  • Set-up a table at a youth orchestra performance and answer questions about Interlochen Arts Camp
  • Make a video for social media
  • Write an article for your school newspaper about what you learned at Interlochen Arts Camp this summer
  • Host a Zoom call for families interested in Camp from your local area
• In January: You'll attend a check-in session via Zoom to share about your ambassador activities. This will also be a chance to learn from other Camp Ambassadors and ask questions.
• January-April: You may be asked to be profiled in Interlochen videos, stories, photos, Zoom panels, and social media. This is optional, and you can always opt-in to participate, or not.
