Camp Details

Registration for our camp will begin at suppertime on Monday, June 8 at The Cabin Bed & Breakfast. We will have burgers ready for you on the barbeque and later the camp instructors will put on a concert. From Tuesday to Thursday, students will have two hours of instruction each morning in their main instrument class. After lunch, you will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of workshops that will let you explore other aspects of music theory and practice.  After the workshops, students will go back to their main class for another two hours of lessons. Following the dinner break, we will be splitting students into "bands" to give everyone an opportunity to play with other instruments. And, of course, there will be lots of jamming all night long. On the final evening of the camp, everyone will be invited to participate in a student concert.
