Young Musicians & Artists is a music and arts camp that integrates creative instruction with leadership training for youth.
Each summer, YMA offers immersive programs in music, visual arts, and performance for students ages 8–18.
The camp serves families from the Portland area and beyond, with sessions held on a residential campus in the Willamette Valley.
If you’ve got a melody in your heart and lyrics in your head, YMA’s Songwriting program is the perfect place to turn your musical ideas into powerful, personal songs. In a supportive, creative space, you’ll learn songwriting fundamentals—from lyric writing to crafting melodies and composing on piano or guitar. You’ll perform your original work at the Performance Showcase and even have the chance to record your songs at camp. Whether you're inspired by legends like Lennon, Dylan, or today’s top artists, this program helps you find your voice and share it with the world. Basic piano or guitar skills required.
