STAFF
Signature Camp Directors
are well-respected performers and educators. Most directors return each season to conduct band, jazz ensembles, show choirs and concert choir.
Signature Camp Counselors
are respected music teachers and professional performers. Several are former Signature campers. Most counselors return from year to year and work as a skilled team to provide a comprehensive program that is fun and inspiring. Counselors provide evening supervision in the dorms and throughout the day at meals, music and recreation activities.
Signature Camp Counselors in Training (CITs)
are former Signature Campers between 18 and 21 years
of age who also major in music at highly respected schools. The CITs play and sing in the performing groups and live in the dorms among the campers. The CITs know the camp values, history and policies. They are role models who are sensitive to the questions and concerns of first-time campers.
Breadth of Experience
Many summer camps are situated on college campuses. Many campus-based camps utilize faculty and students connected to a particular music school.
Signature’s staff brings a wealth of experience from a composite of outstanding music schools such as
Ithaca College
SUNY Potsdam
SUNY Fredonia
Eastman School of Music
Hartt Conservatory of Music
Syracuse University
University of Delaware |
Lawrence University
Temple University
Manhattan School of Music
Yale University
Carnegie Mellon University
Onondaga Community College
Peabody Conservatory of Music
William Paterson University |
Their wealth of experience is appreciated by both parents and campers.

THE 20TH CAMP SEASON is bringing camp alumni to perform again in band, choir and jazz ensembles. The alumni concert will be held on the evening of Friday, July 20th.... JOIN THE CELEBRATION!
Registrations are arriving weekly and we encourage returning campers to submit their registrations ASAP in order to assure availability in your section; especially instrumentalists.
Signature Music Camp is especially interested in vocalists who are interested in musical theater, jazz, as well as those who are preparing classical auditions.
Campers interested in applying for need-based scholarships must do that before March 1st and announcements will be made April 1st. Scholarship support from the John Winter Family Fund will again provide need-based scholarships to students who reside in Oneida, Herkimer, Jefferson and Lewis counties.
