There will be singing games, song circles, rounds singing, voice care information, and a capella harmonies for all. Campers are encouraged to bring guitars, mandolins, fiddles, harmonicas, drums, dulcimers, spoons and kazoos. There'll be Tai Chi for the early morning risers and late night song cirles for the night owls.

Workshops taught by guest instructors (and Judy Fjell) cover singing techniques, guitar instruction, harmonica basics, improvisation, song-writing, and much, much more. There is a camper-led "no-mike" night where campers can share their latest song, play their guitar, share stories, share themselves.

Activities are designed to free up out-of-practice musicians and inspire any"wannabees" who feel they have been hanging back for too long. Everyone, no matter their ability or training, has a place at this camp.
