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 Thursday with registration and some of our best introductory classes, and continues that evening with dinner, staff introductions, questions and answers, jamming, and dancing. Friday through Sunday will include classes each day with instrumental and vocal instructors (average ten students per teacher for these classes), ensemble 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. Sunday evening there may be a concert and dinner opportunity at a nearby venue, details TBA.
Cost of the camp starts at $350 for commuters, ranging to $600 for semi-private room and meals on-site, or more for private rooms.
Various choices of nearby lodging are available for those who want more upscale accommodations—see FAQs page for details.
On-site camping is available, for tents (check the weather report!) or RVs (dry-camping). Housing options are economy housing (8-10 per dorm) or semi-private rooms (2-5 people per room), with shared bathrooms. Private rooms are available on a limited basis.
