Developed to teach the basics of a cappella singing, this camp allows participants to explore their skills in contemporary a cappella. Campers will work together to learn about harmony, perfect various vocal techniques, and arrange their own music, as well as watch and discuss video clips. After skilled vocal instruction, the week will conclude with an on-campus performance open to friends and family.

NOTE: Students within a 40-mile radius of Hollins will receive a 33% discount for this program, reducing the cost to $500.
