Cannon Music Camp is a three-week music-filled retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. The camp offers intensive college preparatory work that sets students up for success in auditions, college music study, and their own musical passions. Attending Cannon Music Camp is a great way to learn about the Hayes School of Music, our faculty, staff, the campus, and surrounding area of Boone, North Carolina. Campers learn and perform with the Hayes School of Music faculty and excellent visiting artists.
– Cost and Scholarships
The complete cost of camp for 2026 is $3,150. This includes all classes, ensembles, housing, dining, concerts, activities, etc. for three weeks. (The only instructional costs not already included are certain optional electives, ranging from $75-150 per elective.)
Apply early for the best scholarship opportunities! Students can apply for a scholarship by sending an audition video or auditioning in person for a camp representative. This year, campers can now apply for an increase to their scholarship, especially if financial need would make it difficult to come to camp.
