Chording, strumming, finger picking and vocal harmony classes are held as assemblies. Many classes are offered at different levels. No experience required and you do not have to read music to attend! You can be a beginner, intermediate or advanced musician and still find classes that will be at your level! There will also be specialized workshops, morning gathering, and a whole bunch of other fun, collaborative activities. Our participants give our camp stellar reviews! We work hard to provide you with an informative and exciting week that builds you up both musically and as a person!
You will find sessions on well guitar of course, but also; mandolin, banjo, rock guitar, blues guitar, slide guitar, ukulele, electric bass, ukulele, fiddle and vocal harmony. Bring your instruments!
