Since 1963 Point CounterPoint has brought the joys of chamber music to hundreds of young musicians.

Point CounterPoint Camp provides the score for talented string and piano students to flourish, perform, and relax in an intimate, closely-knit community of fellow musicians. We emphasize music, and we also focus on social sustainability.

Chamber music is our focus not just because we are passionate about it, but because we believe in its unique motivational and transformational power for young musicians. The mix of leadership and cooperative spirit that develops during practice and performance benefits each camper for a lifetime.
 

"Point CounterPoint was the great turning point in my musical life, when music and nature combined to create the most inspiring environment of my youth. I wish that every young musician could spend a summer at Point CounterPoint, but I know that one of the camp's treasured features is its intimacy. The lucky few who are accepted enter a rare world, a harmonious community gathered with the common dream of becoming better musicians.

The summer is a young musician's most golden opportunity to breathe the fresh air that does not seep through the winter's practice room walls. Point CounterPoint offers the environment that every serious young musician deserves. "
