Children learn to play Celtic folk music in a small and supportive environment. They also learn to make their own bamboo flute, and have plenty of play time! Students practice and perform in instrument-specific groups, and with the entire camp. For players of fiddle, flute, penny whistle, recorder, clarinet, harp, autoharp, guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, accordion, keyboards, percussion, Irish tenor banjo, and cello. A final concert will be presented to family and friends on Saturday, August 2nd at 10am.

Camp will take place at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Scotts Valley, which generously provides the space for this beloved program. Everyone brings their own lunch.

Musical proficiency: Campers should have basic proficiency on their instrument, with a suggested minimum of two years playing experience on violin, and one year's playing experience on other instruments. For more information on the camp, or on playing ability requirements, please email Susan.
