Short and Sweet Summary

Every summer, Rocky Ridge Music Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, brings approximately 150 young musicians ages 10-24 to attend our Junior Music Camps and our Young Artist Program.  Many of these students receive financial aid, but the need is always greater than our resources—and we have to turn away talented kids whose families cannot afford full tuition.  This makes everybody very sad, and this year we are determined to make more scholarship funding available, in order to bring to camp young musicians who will otherwise not be able to come!  In order to make this happen, we need YOU!

Who We Are

Located near Longs Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park, Rocky Ridge is one of the oldest residential summer music organizations in the nation. In 1942 Beth Miller Harrod, a pianist, sought a haven where young musicians would be able to immerse themselves in musical studies away from the daily distractions. She found that setting at the foot of Longs Peak, a place of unparalleled beauty.  With the high country as a backdrop, our campus includes the historic Hewes-Kirkwood Lodge and over 40 other structures functioning as a performance hall, practice rooms, teaching studios, a composition lab, and residential cabins.  In this unique setting, Harrod’s ideal of creating a serene place for an immersive experience joining music and nature lives on.

Today, our programs have grown to include virtually all areas of music study in orchestral instruments, piano, voice, composition, musical theater, and American roots music.  Our Junior Music Camp (ages 10-15) and Young Artist Program (ages 15-24) comprise the core of our youth programs.  Lasting from two to five weeks, respectively, these programs bring young musicians to our mountain campus for complete immersion in music and nature, and are designed both to enhance musical skills and to develop creativity, self awareness, and harmonious relationships.  Students leave with a great sense of confidence in their musical abilities which spills over into other areas of their lives, a collection of special memories that they have created for themselves within a nurturing community, and a network of friends who share a passion for music that support them long after their summer at Rocky Ridge is over.

Our Goal

Why $7,500?  This amount will allow us to make the following additional scholarships available:  two $2,000 full Junior scholarships for low-income students; four $250 partial Junior scholarships; and five $500 partial Young Artist scholarships.  Qualified students have already applied, and are waiting for your donation to the scholarship fund.  Summer is right around the corner, and our students need your help to make this happen quickly!
