Washington, DC Summer Camps
Bach To Rock - America's Music School
Coed Music Day CampB2R's unique method is based on the knowledge that students learn best when they join together to play the music they like the most. That's why we use special arrangements of the music of our time and combine individual lessons with band instruction. Weekly "jam sessions" lead to Battles of the Bands and recording sessions in B2R Studios, our own professional recording facilities. B2R also holds regularly scheduled public concerts that encourage students to become seasoned performers. These creative group activities foster teamwork, build self-esteem and motivate students to perfect their musicianship through independent practice.
Each Summer Camp session meets for four hours per day, Monday through Friday. Morning (9:30 - 1:30) or afternoon (1:30 - 5:30) sessions are offered from mid-June through August. Winter camp is offered during the Christmas holidays and spring camp for one week in late March.

Georgetown Prep Sports Camps
Coed Day Camp
Georgetown Prep Sports Camps are geared towards developing athletes both physically and mentally while building on the essential athletic characteristics of teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Our coaches and instructors have helped develop some of the Washington, DC area's finest athletes - many of whom have gone on to successful collegiate and professional careers. Our sport-specific camp programs were developed out of the belief that there are far too many cookie-cutter summer camp programs in the Washington DC area that offer fun and games but lack the commitment and ability to challenge an athlete to improve in his or her specific sport. We have a year-round staff dedicated to curriculum development and finding the best coaches to teach today's most cutting-edge techniques and developing excellent training programs for each individual camp.
