We look forward to welcoming you Interlochen Arts Camp this summer! To help you prepare, here you'll find Camp handbooks, your pre-arrival checklist, packing lists, and information for our international students.

If you are already enrolled, please check the Education Community for specific information for your student.

Pre-Arrival Video Submissions (Music Only)

New and returning enrolled students in select Music programs must submit a Pre-Arrival Video before Camp for ensemble and seating placement. We will notify you via email when specific excerpts are available. 

You will upload your video to the Education Community. From there, our faculty committees will review your video to determine placement. Students may re-audition for a seating change midway through the summer.
