FAQ

  • Full tuition is $2,800 which includes dorm room lodging and all meals for the duration of the program.

  • If you’re at all on the fence about auditioning for financial or logistical reasons, please audition! If you are accepted, we have an ample SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM to help you, and auditioning does not mean you are committing to attend, as we know plans and circumstances can change. We have been known to move mountains and do everything we can to ensure that our admitted campers are able to attend, regardless of financial circumstances.

  • To be eligible, you must be ages 12-18 by July 4, 2025. If you are graduating from high school (or equivalent) in the spring, you are eligible to apply. However, individuals who have attended college are not eligible. We welcome international applicants and have had participants from 30+ countries around the world! If you have any questions about eligibility, please email us at acappellaacademy@gmail.com

  • Definitely not! It doesn’t hurt of course, but as long as you are able to learn harmonies by ear, we encourage you to audition! We accept singers of all backgrounds and experience levels.

  • Yes and yes!

  • Campers will live in student dorms at our host campus Whittier College in Whittier, CA.

  • Your day will be filled with rehearsals, workshops, and performance opportunities. You’ll also have time for social activities and bonding with your fellow campers. Each day is designed to help you grow musically and creatively. Check out our Curriculum page for an overview of a day in the life at camp!

  • The entire scholarship process happens after you have already been accepted, so don’t worry about that just yet. Everyone who needs it will get some amount of financial assistance from our fundraising efforts and generous donors. For more information, please see our Scholarship Fund page.

  • We understand that plans can change! If you are no longer able to attend camp for any reason, you can drop out for a full refund by April 4, 2025.
