General Information

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The University of Houston Cougar Choir Camp is open to all students entering grades 9, 10, 11 or 12 at a Texas high school. The primary focus of the camp is preparation for upcoming All-State choir auditions, although other educational opportunities will be provided, including voice masterclasses, conducting classes, sight-reading instruction and acting basics. Students will receive expert instruction from Dr. Betsy Cook Weber, Director of Choral Studies; Dr. Jeb Mueller, Associate Director of Choral Studies; UH voice faculty; and outstanding high school choral directors with decades of experience. The camp culminates with a required student concert that celebrates the week’s learning. Students of all ability levels will find appropriate challenges within a positive and nurturing environment.

CANCELATION AND REFUND POLICY

SMALL SCHOOL MUSIC

Only a few students asked to work on the small school repertoire over the years. Therefore, CCC will not address that music during camp. There’s great value in learning the rest of the all-state choir music packet, however, because there are several pieces which overlap both audition tracks.

HOUSING & MEALS

Residential campers stay in Cougar Village, a state-of-the-art dormitory that opened in 2012. Students have one roommate and share a bathroom with three other campers. Counselors stay on the same floor as their assigned campers.
Residential campers are provided three meals a day at Moody Towers, a 33,000 square foot facility with delicious, nutritionally appropriate portion sizes. Professional chefs cook fresh, non-frozen food at nine all-you-can-eat stations. All dietary options are available, including vegetarian and gluten-free.
Day Camper will be provided lunch each day.
All campers will be provided with a BBQ lunch ticket following the final concert.
