Camp Schedule

On Sunday, August 5, arrival day, our first meal is dinner served 5:00 - 7:00.  At 7:00 there will be orientation to explain the schedule and other important aspects of camp. You will meet the artists, who will briefly perform and explain what kinds of things they will be teaching during the coming week.

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Friday, there will be five class periods per day, two in the morning, three in the afternoon. It’s up to you to decide how many of the classes to attend – no one is expected to go to all five, but if you want to, you may. Thus, it’s also up to you to schedule your own free time for practicing, resting, etc

The specific class schedule will be distributed Sunday evening. Some classes may be called “Intermediate”, “Advanced”, or “Beginning”, and it’s up to you to decide which level of class is most rewarding for you. You may go to the same classes every day, or move around as you wish. In addition to classes in many instruments and fiddle styles, there will be classes in dancing, singing, ensemble playing, and maybe a few we don’t even know about yet!

Thursday will be a shorter class day, classes in the morning, with the afternoon free for other activities and just time off.  Weather permitting, we'll hold the exciting triathlon.  Thursday evening we hold the ever popular campers' "Talent/No-Talent" night.  Everyone is encouraged to participate!  If the night is clear, we'll march to the campfire and enjoy s'mores and jamming around the campfire.

Saturday, there will be abbreviated classes in the morning and the Campers Concert in the afternoon.  Saturday evening will be marked with end-of-camp celebrations.

Sunday, August 12, sadly is departure day.  No events are scheduled, just breakfast, wave the bus off to the airport (leaves about 8:30 AM), and say to all our new and old friends, "See you next year!"

Every evening (except Sunday & Thursday) will be filled with various organized jams, concerts, & dances.  Snacks are usually served at about 11:00 after the dance.  Jamming continues into the wee hours!

As a reminder, those attending as Guardians are welcome to all meals and all evening events; however, they may not attend any of the daytime classes (unless accompanying a child). If you are registered as a Guardian but you decide you would like to attend any of the daytime classes, you may simply convert to camper status by notifying Mark Luther and paying the difference ($125).
