Welcome to Carson-Newman University’s Summer Music Camp! The camp will run June 11-14, 2023, and will provide a unique opportunity for students to connect with their faith in a meaningful way, while also honing their musical skills.

Overnight participants will be housed in Carson-Newman dorms. Male and female dorm houses will be separate. Our camp instructors and staff will supervise participants at all times. Dorm rooms are double occupancy. You may indicate your roommate preference on the registration form. If you do not have a roommate preference, a roommate of similar age will be assigned to you.
All meals will be served in the Stokely Memorial Cafeteria on campus. For overnight participants, the camp price includes three meals a day (M, T, and W). For day participants (those not staying with us overnight), three dinners are included in the camp price (M, T, and W). Day participants can bring a lunch from home or purchase a cafeteria lunch card for $10 from the camp office.
Until April 15 We will refund 50% of the registration fee. The remaining 50% will be retained as a non-refundable deposit.
After April 15 We will retain 100% of the registration fee – no refunds.

Rather than a “performance,” our time together will end in a worship service. The service will be at First Baptist Church Jefferson City and will begin at 7:00 pm. The service will last for approximately one hour.
First Baptist Church is located on campus at 1610 Russell Ave., Jefferson City, TN 37760.
Upon conclusion of the performance, participants and parents return to the dorms to pick up the participants’ personal items & RETURN THEIR ROOM KEY in the Tarr Music Center Lobby before heading home. All participants must be checked out and picked up by 9:00 pm.
