Host Families
Staying with a host family
If you are from out of town and would like to stay with a host family, please contact Kendra Briggs at kbriggs2@emporia.edu. We will pair you up with a local student around your same age that can host you.
Hosting a student
Hosting a string camp student is a great way to volunteer. Open your home and enrich the experience of the ESU string camp to bring students from other parts of the country or even the world!
