I had so much fun at ocu meeting new people and creating new experiences. OCU summer music has a great program and it is always a good way to spend summer.

Our daughter received amazing instruction during her 3 weeks at OCU’s high school theater intensive. OCU makes student safety their top priority. The students that were accepted into this program were exceptional and helped challenge our daughter to grow. We love that the instruction was given by faculty members. They performed Legally Blonde at the end and it was fantastic! We would highly recommend!!

My daughter had the most amazing experience during her three weeks at OCU. Professional and caring staff. Beautiful facilities. She absorbed as much as she could from all the knowledgeable and talented instructors. The end performance was outstanding. And the parent information session was incredible. I just wanted her to stop looking at other schools and just apply to OCU. It is an environment that I highly recommend! Thank you to all who were involved. Hoping our paths cross again.

My daughter participated in the three-week Musical Theater camp at OCU and was thrilled with the experience. She received vigorous training in dance, drama and voice while participating in a double cast production of Urinetown. She was extremely impressed by the quality of the training and the professionalism of the campers. She also spoke very highly of the counselors who were upbeat, helpful and friendly. The OCU campus was quiet and did not have much to offer in the surrounding area but my daughters schedule was so full that she hardly cared. I would highly recommend this program to any high school student who is serious about a MT education and career.

This was the second year our daughter attended the 5-week camp. Fortunately, this year, she was able to attend in person after being virtual in 2020. The experience for her was amazing! She loved the staff and counselors, the audition prep, master classes in voice, acting, and dance! During her 5 weeks there, we talked with her once by FaceTime which spoke to her incredible experience! Thank you Dr. Herendeen, Brian Cowing, JoBeth Moad, Melissa Rice and all the counselors who helped to make it such a fabulous experience for her!
