Children
who would like to learn to play guitar will receive a comprehensive education
while attending this small camp in a beautiful lakeside setting. Instruction
will be held for 30 minute sessions throughout the day to give campers extensive
practice and recovery periods (for hands & fingers). Some instruction will be in
small groups, but each camper will receive individual one-on-one instruction
every day from counselors who are talented students and guitar players.
In between classes the campers will be able to participate in summer camp recreational activities or summer athletic training led by camp counselors. Recreational activities include kayak paddling, swimming, dodgeball, and beach volleyball. Training options include soccer, lacrosse, running, jump rope, medicine ball drills, or splitting wood with an axe.
Guitar instruction will take place at various locations around the camp, but mostly on the deck of our Main Lodge, and on shaded benches by the beach. Instruction is designed to get students started on a lifetime of fun and music through guitar skills that can be used in recreational settings.
Each evening will feature a campfire that includes contests, readings, music, songs, and encouragement for high standards such as hard work, persistence, preparation, and community service.
