Hello MASTA Members,

Registration for the 2026 MASTA String Camps is now open!  Please spread
the word to your students and parents about our amazing summer camps.  Feel
free to download, print, and/or email the attached flyer to your families!

Feel free to also use this blurb when communicating with families:

*The MASTA <http://www.astamichigan.org/> String Camps are youth string
camps held annually in late June at the Lions Bear Lake Camp
<https://www.bearlakecamp.org/> in Lapeer, Michigan. They are run by
the Michigan Chapter <http://www.astamichigan.org/> of the American String
Teachers Association
<http://www.astaweb.com/Public/Home/Public/Default.aspx?hkey=434a826e-b3c6-4035-9617-860942a049d2>.
The MASTA String Camps provide young string students with the opportunity
to have a specialized camp experience on their instrument in a relaxed,
fun, and encouraging environment. There are three overnight sessions based
on age and playing experience. While at camp students participate in
orchestra, sectionals, small ensembles, as well as electives and recreation
activities. *

Our music director's this year are:
Session 1 (June 13-15) - Abby Alwin (Ann Arbor) and Nina White (Retired,
Walled Lake)
Session 2 (June 16-20) - Sarah Maurice (Rochester) and Eddie Hasspacher
(Ann Arbor)
Session 3 (June 22-27) - Wendy Stuart (Troy)

Along with the amazing set of music directors, we also have some fantastic
counselors and coaches lined up to teach the campers!  We hope your
students can join us and continue a tradition of amazing string camps this
summer!

Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Sincerely,
Ted McDonald, Program & Camp Director, MASTA String Camps
