Early History

Ottawa Indians once lived in the pine forest between lakes Wahbekaness and Wahbekanetta. In the late 1800s white men came and cut the pines, leaving only a small forest between the lakes. This virgin pine was purchased in 1917 by the state and became part of one of the first state parks. When the lumber era ended, the Wylie Cooperage mill occupied the Indian village site, making barrels until the hardwood ran out. Willis Pennington's summer hotel, opened in 1909, was popular with fishermen until automobiles and better roads drew them elsewhere. Then in 1918, Camp Interlochen, one of Michigan's first girls' recreation camps, was opened, followed in 1922 by Camp Penn Loch for boys. In 1928, by arrangement with Willis Pennington, Joseph E. Maddy and Thaddeus P. Giddings established the National High School Orchestra Camp. It grew rapidly in scope, size, and reputation, becoming the National Music Camp in 1931, and affiliating with the University of Michigan in 1942. Interlochen Arts Academy was chartered in 1960 to provide year-round training in the creative arts.

In 1926, Joe Maddy was asked to organize and conduct the First National High School Orchestra for the Music Supervisors' National Conference (now known as the Music Educators National Conference) in Detroit. Its resounding success led to an invitation to duplicate the experience at the Dallas, Texas convention of the National Education Association's Department of Superintendence in 1927. The exuberant young musicians pled for the chance to work and play together longer than the few days the convention appearance afforded. Joe Maddy promised them a music camp! In June, 1928, at Interlochen, Michigan, in the midst of a magnificent stand of virgin pine trees between two lovely lakes, The National High School Orchestra Camp opened its doors. On leased land, with the old Hotel Pennington, several cottages, 29 new camper cabins, a hospital, water and sewer system, the new Interlochen Bowl, and $40,000 debt, this brave experiment was launched.

Interlochen Arts Camp

Interlochen Arts Camp (formerly the National Music Camp) is an annual summer camp for approximately 2,000 students aged 8 to 18. It was founded in 1928 by the late Dr. Joseph E. Maddy as the National High School Orchestra Camp. Today, students participate in music, theatre, dance, visual arts, creative writing, or motion picture arts. Camp admission is competitive, and auditions are required in most cases. Programs range in length from one to six weeks, and participants are divided into three divisions: Junior (grades 3-6), Intermediate (grades 6-9), and High School (grades 9-12). Interlochen is also home to the Interlochen All-State program, which consists of two-week band, orchestra, and choir programs for Michigan high school students. There are adult programs as well as part of the Interlochen College of Creative Arts. Summer camp is a supervised program for children and teenagers conducted during the summer months in some countries. ... Joseph E.

Camp Traditions and Hallmarks

• Camp Uniform: One of the Camp's most distinguishing features is its distinctive performance uniform which traces its origins to the Camp's earliest years, and which is worn by all campers, faculty, and staff; its main components are a light blue shirt (white shirt on Sunday), red sweater, corduroy pants with color-coded belt (male), and corduroy knickers with color-coded knee socks (female). Interlochen's uniform blurs class distinctions, frees members of the Camp community from the distraction of picking out clothes each day, and fosters an environment where individuals express and distinguish themselves through their art form and not their appearance.

• Interlochen Theme: The Interlochen Theme, an excerpt from Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 2, is played at the conclusion of every Interlochen Arts Camp concert. It is conducted by the concertmaster for orchestra performances and by the first chair oboe player for band concerts. At the end of the Interlochen Theme, audience members are requested not to applaud and to depart in quiet reflection.

• "Do More In Less Time": From its beginning, Interlochen has been a place where talented young people have been able to focus on their craft in a community of like-minded peers without the distractions that they might encounter at home or during the school year that might burden them or impede their progress. As a result, there is an electric level of intensity that permeates Interlochen and allows for an incredible level of accomplishment in a very short amount of time. Many people refer to this as the "Magic of Interlochen." A spirit of friendly competition has always been an integral part of the Interlochen experience, allowing those who work hard and perform best to receive recognition for their efforts.

• Camp Life: In addition to participating in artistic endeavors, campers also are able to take part in traditional summer camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, sailing, camping, crafts, ping pong, billiards, and playing sports such as soccer and softball in organized leagues, as well as tennis and basketball. Campers live in rustic cabins with up to 18 other campers and one or two counselors. Campers begin and end their day with a series of bugle calls, usually played on a trumpet by one of the campers or counselors.

• International Community: Interlochen campers come from all 50 of the United States, Canada, and other countries in North America, there are typically also more than a few campers who come from South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. In a typical summer, over 40 countries are represented within the Camp community. This geographic diversity within the Camp population reinforces the motto painted over the stage in Kresge Auditorium which states simply, "Dedicated to the Promotion of World Friendship Through the Universal Language of the Arts".

• Les Preludes: The final Camp performance each summer in which almost all Interlochen music campers participate features Les Preludes, by Franz Liszt. The concert is always a standing-room-only event.

Interlochen Arts Academy

The Interlochen Arts Academy is an independent boarding high school dedicated to the arts. As of 2007, it has 300 faculty and staff, and roughly 475 students. While more than half the students major in music performance, IAA also offers majors in creative writing, dance, theatre arts, and visual arts. Beginning with the 2005 school year, IAA (along with Interlochen Arts Camp) established a major in motion picture arts. The vast majority of students at Interlochen Arts Academy are boarding students; some day students who live in the vicinity also attend. Interlochen Arts Academy is also noted for its academic rigor and IAA expects students to excel in the classroom as well as artistically. Upon graduation, most IAA graduates continue to universities or conservatories for further study in the arts or academics. Conservatories that often admit Interlochen students include Juilliard, Eastman, Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM), Curtis, New England Conservatory, Oberlin, Manhattan School of Music, Boston Conservatory, and Peabody.

Interlochen Public Radio

Interlochen Center for the Arts is home to Interlochen Public Radio, an NPR affiliate with studios on the Interlochen campus and multiple broadcast locations that allow the station's signal to reach a substantial part of Michigan as well as parts of eastern Wisconsin. When it was founded in 1963, WIAA (note the similarity between the station call letters and the "IAA" abbrevation for Interlochen Arts Academy) was envisioned as a logical extension of the long-running "Music From Interlochen" program that had been heard for many years on the NBC radio network, and which helped to spread word about the activities at the then-named National Music Camp and the then-fledgling Interlochen Arts Academy. The station performed so poorly in its early years that there was talk of shutting down the operation. Today, Interlochen Public Radio thrives and includes both a music service and a news service. IPR boasts one of the highest rates of per capita contributions of any public radio station in the United States. The station's classical service is broadcast from 88.7 FM in Interlochen, 88.5 FM in Mackinaw City, and 100.9 FM in East Jordan/Charlevoix, and its news service is broadcast from 91.5 FM in Traverse City.

Interlochen Arts Festival

The Interlochen Arts Festival has a summer series (schedule announced in April) and winter series (schedule announced in September). It features concerts, plays, art exhibits, readings, and dance productions presented by students, faculty, and staff, as well as both well-known and obscure guest artists. Interlochen Arts Festival events are held in numerous venues around the Interlochen campus. The list of recent guest artists includes Willie Nelson, B.B. King, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Guster, Norah Jones, Bob Dylan, Jewel, Josh Groban, and Bela Fleck. While the Arts Festival has reportedly brought revenue to Interlochen, it has also drawn criticism as a distraction from camper performances, as a source of upheaval on campus as shows are loaded in and out, and for drawing large crowds and traffic jams to the campus.
