Since 1979, the Maine Jazz Camp has been introducing jazz to student musicians from all over Maine and beyond. The camp runs week-long sessions for high school and middle school students, however, college students and adults are most welcome. Each week over 50 students participate in an atmosphere of campus living and jazz music, quickly assimilating its program of ensemble playing, improvisation and theory.

The Emery Community Arts Center is located on Academy St. (between Main St. and High St.) on the UMF campus. For more information contact Ann Bartges, director of UMF Emery Community Arts Center, at [email protected] or 207-778-7461.
