Students of all ability levels are welcome at camp. We differentiate instruction at camp based on ability level so that all campers' needs are met. We also make sure that they have plenty of fun away from their instrument by providing a variety of traditional camp experiences. </span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">The MASTA String Camps are held at the Howell Nature Center in Howell, MI.
