Review for Hayward La Honda Music Camp, Union City, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Hayward La Honda Music Camp is a special music camp. Not only is the quality of instruction among the top in the state (national award winning classical and jazz instructors), but the staff is very personable. And, it doesn't hurt that the cost of the camp is is fairly modest in comparrison with other camps. One thing that makes the camp very special is the generational element that is present. A number of the campers, after graduating from high school, are interested in becoming counselors for the program; and in turn, the counselors often want to eventually become instructors. This is evident in my situation, as I was once a camper in the 70's, an instructor from 1986-1999, and am now a parent of two high school campers. Eventhough there are other, more "prestigious" camps to attend, I choose to send my kds (and students) to this one - it is "the" one!

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

at least knowledgeable (if not expert) about their responsibilities. All very courteous and professional.

Ways to make it better...

the camp was longer, as it used to be in the past.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About once a year
