This camp is for advanced-beginners and intermediate players (see the Instructors page for definitions) who want to improve their instrumental or vocal skills and work on jamming with others.
Camp starts Sunday afternoon with registration and some of our best introductory classes, and continues that evening with dinner, staff introductions, questions and answers, a mini-concert, and jamming with the staff. Monday through Wednesday will include classes each day with instrumental and vocal instructors (average ten students per teacher for these classes), jam group classes, and elective classes--including vocal harmonies, clogging, band rhythm, music theory, songwriting, and more. Evening activities include staff and student concerts, an old time dance, and lots of jamming. Wednesday evening there will be a post-camp/pre-festival concert and workshop, possibly with one of the festival bands.
The cost of the camp is $270 if you register by May 1st, $305 thereafter.
Delicious catered meals from Blue Sun Cafe are available for an additional $80.
On-site camping is available for an additional $25 per person (tents) or $60 per siter (RV’s). Some week-long RV spaces with guaranteed electrical hook-ups are available for $90.
Scholarships are available for those who need them (see FAQs page for details).
Again this year, we're offering a special class for children or siblings of campers who are not yet ready for camp, but interested in music. See FAQ’s page for more information.

This is a popular camp—registration opens around February 1st, and some classes fill within a few weeks. For best choice of classes, early registration is strongly advised!
