CAMP FACILITIES: Campers and Staff live in canvas tipis, in units of 6-8 tipis, with three people per tipi. Third and fourth graders live in platform tents, with four people per tent. We have an open-air lodge for dining and all-camp events, and two shower houses, one for each side of camp. The bulk of our activities take place outdoors - on the Waterfront, in the Challenge Course, the Archery range, Craft Shop porch or out in the woods exploring our property.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our program is based on creating a community living and learning situation for camper units of the same age or grade. Campers learn to cooperate with and support other members of their peer group, while moving through our program areas as a unit. While we have several free-choice opportunities throughout the session, our campers learn and grow as individuals while working through activities and challenges as a unit.
All of our staff go through a two-week staff training together, preparing program areas, practicing safety procedures, working with equipment and attending important sessions covering topics from working with children to bullying and child-abuse prevention.
Each camper unit has two unit leaders who attend all activities with that unit and provide support for each camper while facilitating team building and group bonding. These unit leaders are in addition to our program teaching staff, allowing our staff:camper ratio to be at least 1:5. Units are schedule to participate in activities week by week, including drama, archery, nature, adobe oven, garden, high and low ropes course elements, canoeing, kayaking, sailing and an endless amount crafts activities.
In addition to our daily programs, all camper units go on overnight camping trips once per week, and beginning at age 13 participate in multi-day outcamp trips. These excursions include hiking, canoeing, kayaking, sailing and biking. There are many opportunities for campers of different ages to interact with each other, including all-camp activities in the evenings such as square dances, and special events days.

BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Music has always been an integral part of the Ekone Summer Camp program.

Music camp will give new and returning campers the opportunity to be inspired by the Ekone magic to write, sing and play to their hearts content.

Music/Band, Swimming, Wilderness/Nature, Horses/Equestrian, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: We are about 100 miles east of Portland, across the Columbia River in Washington state.

CAMP FACILITIES: We have one large bunkhouse, built in 2019, where all campers sleep, a large, octagonal Lodge, a beautiful brand-new kitchen (first being used in 2023!), a swimming pond, and over 1,200 acres to explore!
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We encourage musicians to bring an instrument, their voice, creativity and a notebook. Campers will spend time out on the land and in community to help uncover the music they'd like to make during the week. They will play music with the land, and in the process learn about the dance between space and sound, deep listening and the origins of music.
There will be time to make music together as a full group, break off into smaller groups and also have opportunities to work on and perform solo music, if desired. Campers will have many chances to share the music that is important to them, to share stories, feelings and thoughts about their influences and inspirations!
There will be talented Ekone staff musicians as well as a handful of guest stars (musicians with real world experience!) to bring all kinds of ideas to the week. The culmination of the session will be to an Ekone-style concert (think extra fancy Garden Party!) giving campers the opportunity to perform in a way supportive environment. If time and equipment allows, we will also try to record some of the music created throughout the week.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We have scholarships available!
When you apply for camp, you can let us know in that application if you'd also like to apply for a scholarship.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Ekone Summer Camp is located on 1,263 acres of mixed oak-pine forest, extensive grasslands, and overlooking the beautiful Rock Creek Canyon in south central Washington state. Our music campers will spend copious amounts of time on the land, hiking, exploring, and being inspired by what nature has to offer us. Ekone also has horse programs, and while music camp will not be riding the horses, there are lots of opportunities to spend some time around the horses.
CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Music Camp at Ekone will be July 16-21, 2023.
