SMAS 2020 has been CANCELED
Thank you for your support of and interest in Summer Music at Stanislaus, Summer 2020. Unfortunately, the Stanislaus State Music Department is unable to host SMAS this summer due to a lack of campus housing and on campus construction that poses a safety issue to our students, faculty, and staff.
We apologize for the inconvenience this causes. We are working on a fantastic camp experience and look forward to you joining us! Thank you for your patience!
Inspiring six-day music camp for students in grades 6-12.
Each summer, student musicians (grades 6-12) from throughout the region gather at the beautiful California State University, Stanislaus campus, in the heart of the great Central Valley of California. Since 1995, our program has given young musicians the opportunity for enrichment in the musical arts.
The program provides performance and rehearsal opportunities through individual, small ensemble, and large ensemble instruction. Take a look at the sessions we offer, and come make music with us!

young musicians to reach their highest potential
A Focus on Creativity
Summer Music at Stanislaus has been offering rewarding, inspiring musical experiences to young musicians for over two decades. In addition to the traditional style electives such as music theory and ear training, we also offer classes that allow students to learn and explore skills and techniques outside of their normal large ensemble routine. These electives include percussion for non-percussionists, singing for non-singers, rock band, song writing, chamber music, conducting and rehearsing, recording and production, and more! Our program also includes sessions of music listening that will broaden your student’s musical knowledge by exposing them to new musical genres. We’re very excited about the creative possibilities offered in these electives and believe that you will find them uniquely rewarding.
