STRING QUARTET ACADEMY:
Students will reside at the Hilton Homewood Suites in Medford in double occupancy guest rooms according to gender and age (roommate requests are honored whenever possible).

Most meals are provided as part of room and board. Careful consideration is paid to students' needs, allergies and nutrition.

Carefully-selected counselors, teachers and staff supervise students 24 hours a day, regardless of age. College and high school students are housed on separate floors. College-age students have fewer restrictions than students under 18, but have an adult chaperone at all times. Local students are supervised in all activities. Counselors reside with the students and accompany them to all activities. Counselors are trained to handle any situation that presents itself, including medical and personal needs.

All students are required to sign a behavior agreement that helps ensure their safety during camp.
