The American Suzuki Institute offers one and two-week sessions, usually at the end of July and beginning of August, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Young students live with their families in the University of Wisconsin dormitories. There is a teen dorm for older students. The program provides daily individual instruction, group classes, technique classes, orchestra classes, faculty and guest concerts, individual student recital opportunities, a chamber music program, social activities, and much more.
This camp is a rewarding family experience and an opportunity to meet students and teachers from across the US. The faculty members are highly trained and experienced. The camp celebrated its 40th year in 2010.
Students are accepted who do not study with a home teacher who employs the Suzuki method, but at camp it is assumed that the students will be prepared to play the Suzuki repertoire, as it is the basis for daily instruction. Students are assigned classes which are appropriate for their current level in the Suzuki books. Students are accepted who have advanced beyond the Suzuki repertoire.
Enrollment is open to violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, harp and guitar students of all levels. Violin students with no experience may enroll to begin their study at the Institute.
