You will receive four full days of instruction, delicious, locally sourced meals, workshops and electives, group “band” instruction, late night jams and barn dances, as well as swimming, campfire pickin’, and lots of fun with an incredible musical community! The camp will begin with a meet & greet and supper on Sunday July 19th, and wrap up with a performance on the Ossipee Main Stage Thursday, July 23rd! You will make selections for your elective classes, as well as be matched with a “band” of other students, upon your arrival. Other activities such as yoga, or instructor led jams, will be open admission (just show up!) You will receive a schedule upon your arrival. It is highly recommended that all students camp at the festival. We have unlimited tent sites, and a large number of RV hookups, all on flat, grassy, pine shaded terrain.
