Love catching a show at Interlochen. We saw Jason Mraz this past July on the most perfect Summer day. Green Lake as a backdrop with the sun setting. Just a blast!

We are all so lucky to have this world class art center nestled into the Northwoods. We have attended numerous concerts from the Summer Series and loved them all. This was our first time attending a play at Corson. I'm positive we watched future Tony award winners perform. We'll continue to enjoy all of the different chances to see and experience great art at Interlochen

Interlochen Center for the Arts is an absolutely amazing place for your student to spend some or all of their high school years!  My daughter has just completed the first semester of her freshman year and we are already certain beyond any doubt that she is exactly where she is meant to be! If I could have given Interlochen 10 stars I would have, 5 isn't nearly enough..

The facilities at Interlochen are a perfect blend of their nearly 100 year history and a concerted effort in the last few years to dramatically update every 'majors' main facilities.  The older buildings are incorporated wonderfully within the campus setting and the modern buildings are gracefully situated to heighten their beauty and utility.  It all speaks to Interlochens desire to create the best learning environment possible for their students.

The only thing better than the facilities on the Interlochen campus would be the faculty and staff, they are brilliant.  Having gone through the process of both applying for Summer Camp, one year virtually and the other in person, and then applying for Interlochen Center for the Arts High School, I can guarantee you will not find more helpful and knowledgeable staff anywhere.  These people know their stuff and are always willing to help, no matter how silly of a question I asked...

Once my daughter started attending Interlochen for high school, and I got to meet all her educators personally, I was so impressed at how wonderful the people teaching my daughter were.  If every child could have people such as Interlochen has found, in their classrooms all across this country, this world would be a far better place!  The faculty at Interlochen deserve every one of the many accolades that are heaped on them and far better praise than I can set down here.

The dorms at Interlochen are exactly that, dorms.  That is, except the newest dorms that have recently been finished which resemble an upscale apartment and are highly sought after of course though not what I would call 'dorm living'.  I think the kids that get those rooms miss out on something fundamental about the experience of dorm life, but my daughter would disagree I believe.

The students at Interlochen are about as interesting a group of teenagers as I could imagine throwing together in a school setting.  They come from wildly varying backgrounds and from all over the globe, but all have one important thing in common and that is a burning desire to make art in their own special way.  I believe Interlochen Center for the Arts is the best place for them to do just that, while being taught by brilliant educators and guided by caring staff, all in an idyllic woodland setting...

Nice location for Band, Choir and Orchestra camps. Housing in the cabins is more for the students than the adults. Facilities are abundant for different group sizes. Food choices are plentiful but not always the most tasty.

The location is beautiful. The cabins for the overnight campers are very sweet. The whole energy on campus is so welcoming and easy. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store in the next few weeks for my camper.

We were very disappointed with Interlochen's lack of basic precautions around the health of the campers this summer (of 2022).

Unlike other arts camps we are familiar with Interlochen did no proactive or preventative testing. Other than test campers who requested testing they appeared to take no health precautions what-so-ever.

Two campers in our daughters cabin tested positive after requested testing because of their concern around exposure to other campers who tested positive.

None of the other campers in this cabin were notified. No testing was performed for others in the cabin even one of the campers who presented a persistent cough.

We know from discussions with other parents that other arts camps were being more proactive and taking the health of their campers, especially vulnerable ones, more seriously. In the future we will look to those institutions.

Was here for Summer Camp as a part of the Creative Writing Program. The cabins were incredibly outdated and dirty (the bathrooms inside the cabins were constantly prone to flooding and were the dirtiest places I had ever been in). Luckily, many of the main campus facilities were much cleaner. The classes were also very enjoyable and were a good place to meet likeminded peers. The living conditions, however, were so atrocious that they took away from the overall experience. The only other thing of note is the school mascot being “The Fighting Blueberries”, which is hilarious. Overall, programs and courses are good, but cabins should be updated.
