Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Bemidji MusiCamp has three main goals: provide an enjoyable musical learning experience to 5th-12th grade musicians throughout the state; provide a high-quality culminating musical performance to people throughout the state; inspire future commitment to or participation in the musical arts in both community members and students. Campers will be surveyed at the end of the experience to see if the participants have grown musically throughout the week and if they have been inspired to continue with their musical growth. Audiences will be surveyed to measure their enjoyment, to receive their responses to the guest artist, and to assess their interest in attending future performances.
