Under the leadership of Pamela Hunt, Cascadia Music facilitates the Pipestone Youth Orchestra, Annual Pipestone Summer Music Camp, and the School Strings Program in the Methow Valley Public Schools. Cascadia also offers annual merit and needs-based music lesson scholarships each academic year, thanks to the Christine Cherrington Memorial Scholarship Fund, and we offer a referral service to our community of vetted and professional music educators for piano, guitar, brass, strings and winds. Cascadia’s Instrument Loan Library is also a service available to all in the community by individual agreement.
The Pipestone 2026 Summer Camp dates are 7/27 to 7/31 with the final concert at 4:00 on Friday July 31, at the Merc Playhouse.

The Pipestone Summer Music Camp is held at the Methow Valley Community Center every summer. The Camp’s faculty is comprised of a group of accomplished musicians and dedicated teachers from Seattle, and the local area. This fun, high-energy week culminates in a public performance, on the last day of camp.
The camp is divided into two sections:
- String Orchestra 9:30am- 2pm
For children 8 or older who have played strings at least one year and competently read music (in first position).
- Chamber Music 12:15 – 5pm
For strings students who have played a minimum of three years and read music fluently.
