The Grammy Foundation is accepting applications for its fourth annual Grammy Camp. Grammy Camp, which runs from July 12–26, is a program for high school students that provides an immersive experience in 15 music career tracks. The deadline to apply is April 30.

Focusing on all aspects of commercial music, the camp provides instruction by industry professionals in an immersive creative environment in professional facilities. Tracks during the camp include audio engineering, film scoring, music journalism, and performance tracks in keyboard, guitar, bass and songwriting.

All tracks culminate in media projects, CD recordings and/or showcase performances. The camp will be held at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music and other professional venues throughout Los Angeles.
