2024 Yukon Music Summer Camp

Yukon Music Camp Society (YMCS) is a non-profit organization registered under the Yukon Societies Act. Our purpose is to assist in the education of Yukon musicians by sponsoring and organizing music camps in the Yukon. A summer music camp program has been offered in Whitehorse since 1987. The Yukon Music Teachers' Association organized the Summer Music Camp for many years and its continual growth and success led to the creation in 1999 of the Yukon Music Camp Society. The society has organized the annual Yukon Summer Music Camp ever since.

Local professional musicians, music teachers, parents and music enthusiasts are all represented on the society’s Board of Directors and our range of interests are directly reflected in the design of the classes offered by the camp. We always welcome suggestions for classes.Want to join me in making a difference?
