[MASTA] MASTA Camp 2019

[Caitlin Mihalko]

Hello MASTA Members,

I hope you are well and surviving with all of these snow days we have been
having! I wanted to share with you our 2019 MASTA Camp Application and some
other information about camp (sorry for the long email!!). The deadline for
applications is May 1st. For more information about the camps you can visit
our camp website via the MASTA Website <http://www.astamichigan.org/> or
you can go directly to www.mastastringcamps.com. The camp application is
available on the "Registration
<http://www.mastastringcamps.com/registration.html>" page of the website
and has also been attached to this email. Information about the individual
sessions can be found on the "About Camp
<http://www.mastastringcamps.com/about-camp.html>" page.

We have three videos on YouTube that you can show your students so they get
an idea of what camp is like. You can check out our channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcIBh8JLPC2R_fldzv9DvCA, or for the
general video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOauyTwWBNk. If you
would like a poster for your classroom or studio let me know and I can mail
one to you.

There is a scholarship program for camp sponsored by MASTA for those
students in financial need. The application is available on the MASTA Camp
website on the Registration page at
https://www.mastastringcamps.com/registration.html. This application needs
to be sent separately to our Outreach Chair, Abby Alwin, for processing.
The deadline for the scholarship applications is April 1st, 2019.

MASTA is also continuing the program where we award MASTA Members who send
5 or more students to MASTA Camp a $50 scholarship to give to one of their
students for the next year of camp. If you sent students to camp in 2018 we
will be checking our records and for every 5 students that attended camp
you receive a $50 scholarship, so if you sent 10 students you get two
scholarships, 15 students is three scholarships, etc. If you have any
questions about this please email me.

The MASTA String Camps are a great way for young students to come learn
more about their instrument in a fun and encouraging environment. 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.

The MASTA String Camps are held at the Howell Nature Center in Howell, MI.
The Nature Center has wonderful facilities for our campers, including
cabins that are carpeted and air conditioned with attached modern
bathrooms.

We are assembling a wonderful staff this year and look forward to working
with your students! We are still hiring counseling/instructional staff.
Anyone interested in working at MASTA Camp this summer should email me at
mihalkoc at gmail.com. If you have any questions about the camps please feel
free to email me directly or send an email to mastacamps at gmail.com and I
will be happy to help in any way that we can!

Sincerely,
Caitlin Mihalko, Camp Director
