Here’s a schedule from 2025 to familiarize yourself with our programming.
-
Lunch and all-day coffee and water are provided with tuition. You can purchase add-ons for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is available Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Dinner is available Saturday and Sunday. Head to the Registration link below to check out our meal plans.
-
Guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and both 3-finger and clawhammer banjo. New to this year, we’re offering vocals/songwriting as a “main instrument” track and another new track called “Beginner Lab”.
-
Beginner Lab is in session at the same time every other instrument class is in session. You can come to camp as a COMPLETE beginner and get help with technique, fundamentals and jamming skills that will get you ready for the beginner class and campground jams! We will also provide times for campers to drop into Beginner Lab who are registered for a different instrument class who want to try something new, so find a friend at camp to swap instruments with and come hang out at Beginner Lab! You can move in and out of Beginner Lab at any time. It’s there for extra support, and will be lead by the great Jason Homey with fiddle help from JayDean Ludiker
