The Music
- Choruses - Camp Albemarle choruses have earned this acclaimed summer program a reputation as one of the nation’s finest. Explore the fundamentals of healthy and artistic singing techniques and perform music of many different cultural traditions spanning an entire millennium.
- Musicianship Training Program - Participate in creative music-making utilizing the methods of Orff, Kodaly, and Gordon using Orff instruments (pitched and un-pitched percussion instruments, recorders).
- Small Group Vocal Instruction Training Program - Optional for ages 12-14. Groups of four work with experienced vocal instructors to explore their vocal potential and increase confidence in singing accurately from a notated score.

The Music
- Choral Training - learn and perfect repertoire with Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Litton-Lodal Music Director of The American Boychoir that is consistent with that of a typical American Boychoir concert. Boys will explore and improve their vocal potential in Small Group Vocal Instruction classes.
- Music Theory - campers will improve their skills in sight reading and ear training based on the Kodaly Method.
- Tour Bus and Media Event - The American Boychoir Experience includes a trip on ‘Gus’, the same bus that carries The American Boychoir around the country each year. The bus trip culminates in a professional photo shoot.

The Concerts
- All campers participate in two concerts every session. At the Friday Night Concert, campers in the Musician ship Training Program demonstrate their improved understanding of music theory on the Orff instruments.
