Here, interdisciplinary artists develop their skills and hone their creativity by pursuing their individual interests and goals.
With the guidance of our faculty and the support of your peers, you'll explore different artistic mediums of study. You'll collaborate, experiment, and discover that there are no limits to your imagination.






Are you a developing young artist with a story to tell and a passion for expression? Do you love singing and painting? Do you enjoy writing and acting?
Interlochen Arts Camp is the destination for you. When you study interdisciplinary arts at Interlochen, you’ll learn techniques and tools of the trade from our gifted faculty members, meet incredible guest artists, and build friendships with students like you who will inspire you to reach your full potential.
In this fun and fast-paced environment, you will:
- Study creative writing, dance, visual arts, acting, and music
- Collaborate with students across arts disciplines
- Enjoy all the benefits of a summer camp experience
- Meet students from around the world who love the arts
Interlochen Arts Camp offers two Interdisciplinary Arts programs: Arts Exploration and Arts Merge.
While on campus, you'll live in a division with other students your age.
Housing & Dining
Campers live in one of the more than 120 cabins that dot our 1,200-acre campus. Each day, you'll experience the beauty of northern Michigan as you walk to one of our three dining halls, take a dip in one of our two lakes, or watch a performance in one of our open-air venues.
While Interlochen Arts Camp students spend most of their days in classes and rehearsals, you'll still find plenty of time for fun and friendship.
Each week, you'll enjoy a busy schedule of enriching classes, challenging rehearsals, and phenomenal performances. During your free time, you can make crafts, go for a swim, read a book, play games with your cabin-mates, join a pick-up basketball game, or just get in a few hours of extra practice. You can also participate in field trips to local hot spots like Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for canoeing, swimming, or dune-climbing.

Interlochen Arts Camp applications for Summer 2024 are now open.
Applications for programs that do not require an audition or portfolio will enroll on a first-come, first-served basis starting in December. All other applications will be reviewed after the priority application deadline in January. We will continue to accept applications following the deadline until program enrollment is full.
Your tuition is based on the number of weeks you attend Camp. For example, if you choose two three-week programs, you will pay the six-week price
Financial Aid
All students in programs that are two or more weeks long are welcome to apply for need-based financial aid. To apply, complete the following steps in your application in the Education Community:
Indicate your interest in applying for financial aid in the "Financial Aid" section of the Camp Application for Admission.
Upload a copy of your most recent Federal Income Tax Return Form 1040 prior to submitting your application. If you are an international applicant, please submit an official Verification of Salary, in English, for each of your parents.
The Financial Aid Committee will then review your family's income documentation to determine your eligibility for need-based aid. Any financial aid award will be included on your child's enrollment agreement after acceptance.
Applying for aid will not affect your admission decision. However, it is important to submit your financial aid application with your application for admission. If you request aid after applying, you may experience significant delays which could affect your eligibility for financial aid. If you plan to request financial aid, we recommend obtaining a PDF copy of your tax documents before you begin your application.
