“I spent my first six weeks at NEMC last summer, and after <strong>the</strong> first day,<br />

I already felt like I had been going <strong>the</strong>re my whole life. I always feel weird<br />

calling NEMC a summer camp, because <strong>for</strong> me it has been so much more<br />

than that. I mean, what comes to mind when you think of summer camp?<br />

Campfire songs, friendship bracelets, sports, and new friends tend to fit<br />

<strong>the</strong> cliché of a summer camp description. Sure, NEMC has all of that, but<br />

to call it a summer camp just does not do it justice. Imagine you could<br />

spend an entire summer at a place where you could pursue your one most<br />

powerful passion nonstop. NEMC is that place <strong>for</strong> me. And not only does<br />

it give me <strong>the</strong> opportunity to develop my skills in music, but it allows me<br />

to do it surrounded by some of <strong>the</strong> best people I have ever met. NEMC<br />

is that place where people who spontaneously burst into song all alone<br />

during <strong>the</strong> year can burst into song in six-part harmony with twelve<br />

random o<strong>the</strong>r people during <strong>the</strong> summer. It is <strong>the</strong> place where teenagers<br />

get out of bed at six in <strong>the</strong> morning without complaining because <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are too excited to start <strong>the</strong> day. It is <strong>the</strong> place where you can watch <strong>the</strong><br />

sunset over a lake while listening to someone practicing a cello concerto or<br />

a horn solo. Even though I have as of yet only spent six weeks in total at<br />

NEMC, it has already become my second home.”<br />
