Useful Music Camp Information (updated 8/20)

Please follow the links below to download information regarding Music Camp. NOTE: Updated Visitors Day Bus Info and Directions to Idyllwild.

IMPORTANT! Music Camp Loading Directions

Due to registration and construction on campus, no parking lots are available for Music Camp parking.  Luggage and instruments need to be dropped off on El Monte (the street on the west side of the campus).  A truck for Idyllwild Pines (guard and band) girls and a truck for all Camp Maranatha (orchestra) luggage will be parked near El Monte for easiest drop off.  Band boys' luggage must be carried to the area near the large trailer.  Due to the large number of people involved, we are extending the luggage drop off time to begin at 7:00 through 8:30.  Please be ready to drop off luggage/sleeping bags as quickly as possible so others can pull in and do the same.  All luggage/sleeping bags need to be at AHS by 8:30 Friday morning.  Students return home until the 10:00 check in time.  We appreciate the cooperation of all.  Construction does provide a lot of challenges, but we are looking forward to a great future.
