Our Purpose
Empowering Young Women Through Music
Founded in 2008, the Athena Music and Leadership Camp is the first to provide middle and high school-aged young ladies a five-day, music camp experience while emphasizing leadership and team-building skills.
Named for the Greek goddess of the arts and wisdom, Athena strengthens musical excellence through three main points of emphasis: performance fundamentals, theoretical understanding, and music appreciation.
Our leadership and empowerment workshops focus on confidence building, communication skills and self-awareness.
