Students of all levels will be able to study old-time or bluegrass banjo with some of today's best players and teachers in both styles. Our program features hands-on classes, demonstrations, and a big faculty concert, plus time for jamming.


Instructors for our inaugural run include:

Bluegrass: Dennis Cyporyn, Bill Evans, Murphy Henry, Bill Keith, Ned Luberecki, Alan Munde, and John Rossbach (camp guitarist/accompanist);

Old-time: Danny Barnes, Mac Benford, Dan Gellert (camp fiddler), Brad Leftwich, Joel Mabus, Reed Martin, Michael J. Miles, Ken Perlman, and Mike Seeger.
