Friday is filled with excitement and musical activity. The day challenges campers to test their knowledge with various team and individual games and relays. There is a Solo Recital at 3:00 p.m. for students who have a polished, memorized solo piece prepared. At 6:30 p.m., the Adventures in Music Gala Recital highlights students from the camp as they play the ensemble pieces learned throughout the week.

One of the games played on Friday is a Scavenger Hunt that takes place across the entire campus. The final task this year that each team had to perform at the end of the Scavenger Hunt was to create a team cheer.
