Adults relive the musical camaraderie of their youth.
“I was thrilled because I love this place,” said Guess, 71, of Baltimore, a retired lawyer for the U.S. Department of Defense who plans to return to the New England Adult Music Camp in August. “It is serene, beautiful, a perfect setting. And it’s not all that different from what it was 50-some years ago.”
Whether they are looking to make friends, improve their skills or just take some time out for themselves after sending their own kids to camp and college, adults can find a variety of summer music programs across the United States, ranging from electronic, folk, rock ‘n’ roll and jazz to chamber and opera.
For many campers, it offers a way to relive the nostalgic musical experiences of their youth and make new social connections.
