BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Founded in 1945 by Elizabeth "Ma" Sonier, Laurel Music Camp is centered around her philosophy of Fellowship Through Music, a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. Parents to children, brothers to sisters, and teachers to students: Laurel Music Camp has influenced the lives of many musicians for over sixty years.

Music/Band, and more. We Offer Four Ensembles - Orchestra, Band, Jazz Band & Choir.

CAMP FACILITIES: We stay for the week at Camp Workcoeman, a boy scout camp. We use their facilities prior to their season starts. Laurel Staff oversees all aspects of camp, not the boy scouts. We sleep in tents, walk on trails, but still have hot meals and hot showers.

Our camp motto and goal is FELLOWSHIP THROUGH MUSIC. Our staff is all volunteer and works hard all year to ensure a great camp for all of our campers. We recruit high quality conductors to conduct our groups for the week. Our staff lives and works alongside the campers and our atmosphere is very family oriented.
