The GRAMMY Foundation® selected 83 talented high school students from 75 cities and 23 states across the United States to participate in the fifth annual GRAMMY Camp® that took place from July 11-19 at the University of Southern California. GRAMMY Camp students worked with GRAMMY-winning and -nominated professionals and industry specialists affiliated with The Recording Academy® and experienced an immersive, interactive and highly collaborative residential summer music camp. GRAMMY Camp was sponsored in part by Epiphone. Financial assistance for GRAMMY Camp was offered to qualified students; this year, a portion of these resources was generously provided by ASCAP, the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Fund, and the Ford Motor Company Fund.
