YOLA Camp: Exploring Music and Future Pathways
Get an inside look at our annual summer retreat to Idyllwild, CA.
Every summer, YOLA students, mentors, and teaching artists escape the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles to reconnect with their craft amid the natural beauty of Mt. San Jacinto State Park. During the three-day camp, students learn advanced music, make new friends, and in the words of YOLA conductor Daniel Jacobs, “find that inner fire within them.”
Leadership support for YOLA Camp 2024 was generously provided by the Morf Foundation.
