Double Bass Serious Intermediate Level Summer Programs

Are there any intermediate summer programs out there? Almost every one I see is either very, very selective (out of advanced students, playing pieces such as the Bottesini) or pure beginner/"laid-back" style summer camps that aren't quite to the level of seriousness I am pursuing.
I am currently working on both the Largo movement of Eccles and the first movement of the Capuzzi concerto. I realize that many of the program's deadlines are fast approaching and in many situations has already passed, but I would like to compile a list of programs that, even if I would not be able to attend this year, intermediate students could pursue in the future.

If you can make it out to Seattle in late June you should check out the Hammond Ashley Double Bass Workshop. Max Dimoff, who's Principal of the Cleveland Orchestra and Jeff Bradetich, who teaches at UNT and CIM both teacher among a few other good teachers and masterclasses with members of the Seattle Symphony. I've been there 4 times and its great.They have all levels of players. Mostly Beginners and Intermediate players, junior high, elementary school, and high school aged kids. Check it out.
