Residence Hall Rooms

Campers will reside in the newly constructed Hudson and Perrin Halls.  Each room will house two campers in a “pod style living arrangement.  Roommate requests will be honored as long as space permits and the request is by mutual agreement between campers as indicated on the camp application. Visit Residential Life's web site for a preview of the residence hall facilities. Girls and boys will be housed in separate wings of the Hudson – Perrin complex with one counselor to every 16 – 18 campers.

Staff

Many regionally and nationally recognized faculty work the two weeks of camp. This outstanding faculty is noted for its excellence and positive attitudes, hard work and talent. More than 95 percent of the faculty attended Northwest Missouri State University. Hundreds of the student evaluations annually state the reason they selected this camp was because of the fantastic faculty.

Activities

Throughout both the High School and Junior High School weeks of Summer Music Camp at Northwest, there are a variety of ensembles and other music-related classes/activities to participate in. We encourage all campers to get involved and provide yourself with every opportunity to further your musical experience.
