ELECTIVES:

Elective classes for those not enrolled in the FSQ Chamber Music Camp are available Monday through Thursday. Please limit your selection to two electives. Prelude Chamber Camp students will have a limit of one elective.

Fiddle: Violin students in Book 2 and above may take a Fiddle elective which will give them the opportunity to learn several fiddle tunes and explore new styles of fiddle playing. This is always a popular elective. Students will be divided by playing levels. Please note that this is separate from the fiddle weekend.

Viola for Violinists: This is an elective for all violins in book 3 and above who would like to get a taste of the viola. This is a rare opportunity to try a new instrument and have a lot of fun while doing it. We will have a viola for you to use during the week. Enjoy the deep rich sound of that great C string!

Introduction to Golf: Yes that is right. Since E&H has a lovely 9-hole golf course why not learn the basics of the game. This elective is open on a first come basis to students age 6 and up. It will be nice to have a physical activity class. If you do not have clubs, they will be provided. In case of inclement weather, an indoor activity will be substituted for the day.

Arts and Crafts: This elective is available for students ages 5 and older. Parents, please remember to accompany your younger students for this elective! They will explore art using various mediums and perhaps even do a bit of knitting or weaving.

Keyboard Explorations: This elective is specifically for students enrolled in the institute as pianists. It will allow them to explore all the amazing things that keyboards do. Perhaps even a little organ or another keyboard instrument may be discovered. Exploration is the key.

Cello Choir: We always have adults who would love to play in a cello choir, but it is hard to fit into the busy camp schedule. This year we are offering a specific cello choir elective which will meet during the day. It is open to any adult or teen cellists. This will be a fun addition to your schedule! 

Teen Counselors:

If you would like to send your 13-18 year old to camp without a parent, they must be under the care of a teen counselor.  The counselor will make sure they are abiding by the dorm rules, in their rooms at night and awakened in the morning.  The teens must be responsible enough to get to their classes on time and to function independently within the parameters of the camp.  They also need to be mature enough to practice independently and participate in all teen activities provided by the staff.  Teens will be housed in Weaver dorm.
