Tuition and Scholarships
Tuition for 2025 is $7750 is all-inclusive. All tuition payments are non-refundable.
Every year, between 30 and 50 percent of enrolled campers are awarded some amount of scholarship aid. We have a need-blind acceptance policy, and we are committed to providing financial support whenever assistance is necessary. It is our goal that no accepted applicant is unable to attend Greenwood for financial reasons.
Music
Every student receives a chamber music assignment on Monday morning, has a minimum of three coached rehearsal sessions as well as rehearsals without a coach, and performs that piece on the following Saturday. In any given summer, over 60 movements of major works will be learned and performed for the entire community. For a sampling of chamber music played please see last year’s final program.
Students have one lesson with their assigned instrumental teacher at the beginning of each week and can work on solo repertoire in addition to chamber music. Students who are interested in composition can participate in weekly composition meetings and present their work at the composers’ concert in the final week.
There are many forms of recreation available at Greenwood, including two clay tennis courts, a pool, ping-pong tables, miles of dirt roads and trails for biking and hiking, and a field for the soccer, softball or frisbee games that often fill a beautiful summer evening. We also enjoy a camp-wide Treasure Hunt, charades and Capture-the-Flag games every summer.
Greenwood is a nut free environment.
