Celebrating the 11th year of jazz camp!

Founded in 2011 by Ken McGloin and Bill Fiore, PDS Jazz Camp serves students from various school districts throughout Dutchess, Ulster, and beyond during a 1 week session on the beautiful campus of Poughkeepsie Day School. We have a faculty of talented jazz musicians that are both teachers and working artists. PDS Jazz Camp welcomes all learners: students 12 to 18 years old, beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. Our goal is to broaden knowledge of jazz band and combo playing; improve theory and improvisation skills. We expect everyone to respect each other; participants are all at different levels in playing and we encourage students to support each other. Financial Assistance available if needed, inquire with camp@poughkeepsieday.org to learn more.
