All-State Choir Camp

August 15 & 16, 2026

The 5th Annual Iowa Lakes All-State Choir Camp is a no-cost all-state camp for the students of Northwest/North Central Iowa and beyond!  It provides an opportunity for you to get a jumpstart on the process with area directors with a history of success in the All-State process. You will also get to stay close to home, which means you can save on housing costs and allow you some flexibility if you have an unmovable conflict.  We want to be here to help you get your All-State season off to a great start in a fun, but focused setting that sets you on the path for a fantastic All-State experience. We want you to join us!
Free lunch will be provided on both days, and the camp will be hosted at the new Performing Arts Center at Iowa Lakes Community College. Students will all receive a free t-shirt, and it will end with a concert of All-State music.

Housing will be available for $30 per student, which includes supper and breakfast!

All-State Music

Contact your choir director ASAP to let them know you are attending the camp so that you can get the All-State music from them before camp.  If your choir director needs the link, music can be ordered from West Music. All-State music will not be provided by the camp.
