Choose one instrument of study as your "major" from a variety of specialized weekly classes. Bring other instruments if you have them for the jams.

Enjoy four daily instructor hosted jams, evening Open Mic, and Kamp Koncerts.
Then after the evening activities, the student jams begin.

David Firestine Runs several jams through the day. You can download the song choices he will draw from HERE

You’ll come away with new repertoire and invaluable techniques, a reinvigorated sense of direction and purpose, and a greater confidence and joy in making music on your instrument!

Join us for Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamp: Old Time and Traditional Week, Bluegrass Week or both weeks!

See you in Maryville, TN in June!
