Maine Jazz Camp is pleased to announce its twenty-sixth anniversary sessions!
"You are surrounded by people your own age who are there for the same reasons as you. Friendships that are cultivated at the camp continue throughout the year. Things are really quite simple at MJC, we eat, sleep and play music. Absolutely no one goes away from their week at camp without some sense of musical accomplishments, including the faculty. You are personally guaranteed a great week."Christine Correa

Camp is held on the campus of the University of Maine at Farmington. Once on campus, students are supervised by a staff of dormitory counselors who look out for the best interests of every Maine Jazz Camp student. In addition to nearly a full day of music classes, campers have scheduled recreation and rest periods. There are evening activities including concerts by staff members. During dorm hours, students can relax with a jazz video, hang out with friends in the dorm lounge or simply spend down time in the privacy of their room. Students can also participate during scheduled times in other activities on campus including tennis, basketball and running. Additionally, there are student jam sessions and the opportunity to get to know faculty musicians away from class. Students at Maine Jazz Camp are on the campus meal plan, which starts with dinner on Sunday, the first day of camp, and continues with three meals a day through dinner on Friday. On Saturday morning there is a continental breakfast in the dorm lounge before dorm check-out. Please note if a camper stays 2 weeks there is no formal supervision from Saturday afternoon to Sunday noon of the next session.For questions and concerns not answered above, please contact Christine Correa
