The 21st Annual Savage Marching Percussion Camp

Watch the Camp Promotional Video!

Welcome to the Savage Marching Percussion Camp Website!

We hope you will find all the information you need and register to join us for a fun and incredible week of becoming a better percussionist and a better YOU!

We are incredibly excited to return to camp for the 21st Annual Savage Marching Percussion Camp. This will be a week filled with intense learning, fun activities, and the making of new friends from throughout the Carolinas and beyond.

We are thrilled to announce our new home for the 2025 Camp at Park Springs Camp and Retreat Center in Providence, NC!

The beautiful facilities are situated directly on a lake and includes large air conditioned cabins, an air conditioned dining hall and gymnasium, a large swimming pool, great shady rehearsal spots, and many beautiful meeting spots both indoors and out.

The camp philosophy and curriculum is based on a camp Matt Savage has taught in Oregon, with Alan Keown, since 1989. It is a time tested and proven approach that makes this camp one of a kind!

The #1 goal of the camp is of course to improve drumming and musicianship skills but there is also a strong focus on developing life skills, a strong work ethic, meeting and getting along with new people, respecting each other, and making good life choices. We like to say that after attending Savage Camp, every student will be "changed" for the better.

We are expecting this to be the largest camp to date so register soon to hold your spot!
