The Simpson College Jazz Camp has been in existence since 2003 and is known for its excellence in Iowa jazz education. The Department of Music at Simpson College is proud to host close to 100 school-aged jazz musicians each summer on its beautiful campus!

The Simpson College Jazz Combo camp provides an intensive experience for middle and high school students, ages 12 - 19, looking to gain skills and appreciation in jazz and improvisation. The faculty includes some of the most respected jazz educators in Iowa and beyond! Students will have many opportunities to work on their craft and hear the faculty perform nightly.  The week culminates with a final performance by the campers on Friday afternoon, held in Simpson College's beautiful Great Hall.
