MusiCamp Alberta, operated by the Alberta Summer Music Workshop Association, hosted overnight music camps at Red Deer Polytechnic’s Arts Centre and campus residence, 100 Donald Boulevard in Red Deer, Alberta. These details describe historical summer 2026; exact 2027 programmes, dates and eligibility are unconfirmed.
The Dunnigan Concert Band, Peterkin Symphonic Band and Musical Theatre Performance programmes ran August 2–8, 2026. The Jazz Band Workshop ran August 9–15, 2026.
Programme recommendations differed: Dunnigan was recommended for ages 13–15 with at least one year of instrument experience; Peterkin for ages 15–18 with at least three years; Jazz for ages 13–18 with at least one year of instrument experience, including players new to jazz. Musical Theatre was recommended for ages 12–18 at any experience level. The camp director can advise on the appropriate programme for each student.
The operator’s age limit was 18, and campers could not turn 19 before the start of camp. Its camper information also states that elementary-school students must wait until junior high and specifically welcomes campers in Grade 7 with one year of instrument experience. Confirm the applicable grade basis, programme placement and all experience requirements directly with the camp director.
Band and jazz campers took part in ensemble rehearsals, choir, musicianship, practice, lessons and performances. Musical Theatre combined singing, performance and choreography. Arrival auditions helped place students in an appropriate ensemble and band; instrumentalists prepared scales and a piece, while musical theatre campers prepared a song with accompaniment.
Students lived in campus residence and ate campus meals, with staff supervision and evening recreation. Published check-in was Sunday 2–4 p.m. at the Residence Common Building; pickup followed the final Saturday concert beginning at 2 p.m. Confirm current arrival details, accommodation, dietary and support needs, instrument and concert clothing requirements, medication procedures, fees, availability and cancellation terms. Scholarship and bursary applications were separate from camp registration.
