| Mission | This camp is for people who like bluegrass and oldtime traditional music (though other related styles such as Celtic, Cajun, country, and swing tend to sneak in here and there). All ages are welcome, and core classes are offered in instrumental skills, jamming and band dynamics, and vocals. There are classes for beginners as well as intermediate levels. We also offer a special class for younger children who are not yet ready for the full camp program, but would enjoy spending the morning playing music, singing, dancing, and taking breaks for arts and crafts, nature walks etc. |

| What it does | Since families are so often on tight budgets, especially with our current economy, we recruit donations for the camp scholarship fund from those who can afford to contribute, to ensure that everyone who wants to come to camp is able to, regardless of their financial situation. We very seldom turn anyone away for lack of funds. Additionally, we charge a very low fee for the Music & More program, to encourage parents to bring their kids to camp and get them started on a lifelong love of music habit. Many people come to me after camp to tell me what a life-changing experience the camp has been for them, their children, and their families. |
