Summer vibes

Start your summer with us and be part of the 15th International Summer Camp of the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg!

The International Summer Camp offers around 60 musicians a varied week of workshops with excellent networking opportunities under the guidance of a top-class team of lecturers. Band rehearsals, creative songwriting and music production are the focus of the summer course. There are also themed master classes, workshops and specials. Individual and group lessons in singing, songwriting, music production and various instruments complete the programme. The week ends with a public final concert.
