Music & Mindfulness at Graves Mountain Farm
One week camp for youth musical education and life skills enrichment.
The Week of Skills Enrichment
Talented Philadelphia High School musical students are on a mountain farm, immersed in classical music training for their instrument, team building through wellness-awareness, personal coaching, college tracking complemented with nights of campfires, friendship, and music making caravans to Bluegrass, Jazz, while nature swamps the instruments.
Free Showcase Performances - Seven of Them June 23 to June 30
As a key part of the students' development, they are showcasing for the public, for Madison County, and for guests of Graves Mountain Farm & Lodges.
Our Financial Partner and 501(c)(3) Charity Manager is Panetiere Partners.

How Much Support Do We Need to Change 38 Lives?
A contribution of $2800 covers the cost for one student to attend the week of camp plus two days of orientation.
Purpose
The purpose of Music and Mindfulness is to jump-start thirty-eight youth in Philadelphia who are musically accomplished yet not plugged into the switches that access college and a career in music.
We do that in this week.
Process
During the week, our youth receive day and night musical instruction by members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the President's Own Marine Band, Fort Worth Opera, local Bluegrass teachers, jazz musicians, faculty for Mindful Wellness, and career-college counselling.
Environment
These education skills are wrapped into an 1800 acre farm.
