Camp RicStar
For over 20 years, the Eric ‘RicStar’ Winter Music Therapy Camp has impacted the lives of individuals with special needs – and their families – by inviting them to participate in group music therapy. The camp has provided six days of inclusive summer camp access to thousands of individuals benefitting from the emotional, physical, cognitive and social benefits of music therapy.
Camp RicStar is a new documentary feature film about the dramatic story behind a one-of-a-kind camp for people with disabilities. Camp RicStar is an affirmation of the joys of music, the power of community and the need for inclusion.
Your Support Will Make a Big Difference
The fund will support marketing, advertising and communication initiatives to promote MSU’s annual RicStar's Camp, a summer music therapy camp, and will support recruitment of new potential attendees and their families, as well as raising awareness to engage the community about the need for programs like this one to better support the disability community.
Funds will also support finishing costs for “Camp RicStar”, a world-class feature length documentary that tells the story of Eric Richard Winter, an exceptional young man whose life and legacy spawned the film and creation of RicStar's Camp, the MSU Community Music School-East Lansing music therapy camp. Since 2003, RicStar's Camp has provided life-changing opportunities for musical expression, movement, performance and social interaction for hundreds of special-needs individuals each year, focused on nurturing and celebrating individual abilities.
Who We Are
