"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. "

• David Finckel, Cellist, Emerson String Quartet

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

Point CounterPoint Camp provides the score for talented string and piano students (ages 8-18) to flourish, perform, and relax in an intimate, closely-knit community of fellow musicians. We emphasize music, and we also focus on social sustainability.

"I just want to express my greatest appreciation to you. Without your help, it would’ve been impossible for our camper to have the opportunity to attend PCP. I also would like to thank the instructors at PCP – for providing the guidance to better violin playing. He really enjoyed the whole camp experience with great music and friendship. He has not stopped talking and thinking about PCP yet! Besides the fun and music, he still cannot get over the great food he had during those three weeks. Thank you all so much for what you’ve done for him. Best regards." Parent of a 2009 Camper

"I've been meaning to email you for months now, to thank you for the wonderful experience our daughter had at Point CounterPoint this summer. She came home eager to go back next summer, and has been in regular contact with a number of her new PCP friends. Thank you!" Parent of a 2009 Camper

"Our students have all come back from PCP even more excited about music than they were before they went - so thank you!" Music Teacher of 2009 Campers

"Thank you again! Our daughter had a super summer and her chamber coach is thrilled with her progress! Parent of 2009 Violinist

"Point CounterPoint was an amazing experience! I met so many wonderful people and grew so much musically. Thank you so much!" 2008 Violist

"I wanted to let you know our camper had an absolutely wonderful time at camp this summer! The 1st thing she said as we drove away from the final concert was "can I go back next year, please?" Parent of 2008 Camper

"The camp's excellent holistic care of the entire kid is so obviously the priority, and the end result is so clearly a success. To say our son's music teacher was blown away would be an understatement. Our son's quantum growth and musical maturity in just 3 weeks was astounding. After his PCP inspiration he is opening that case rather more diligently and dare I say, even with unprecedented enthusiasm. Thanks again for everything!" Parent of 2008 Camper
