Meals

Summer Brass Academy offers a full meal plan option for participants from the PSU's Victor's Dining Hall, inside of the Ondine Residence Hall during the academy. The meal plan covers lunch and dinner for each day of the camp (except breakfast on Saturday. The academy will provide meals for that breakfast). Participants can purchase full meal plans from the PSU dining hall even if they don’t stay on campus. Students can also bring their own meals or buy meals from approved restaurants and food vendors.

* The meals for resident campers for 2026 PSU Summer Brass Academy will be provided by University Place Hotel, University Catering Services as well as various local food vendors and restaurants.
