July 18-22, 2027

Join us for the Ossipee Valley String Camp! A 7-day immersive experience (5 days of camp, including a pass to the music festival!) with some of the brightest professional teachers of bluegrass and roots music! 

A ticket to camp includes four classes per day, three meals using farm-to-table ingredients, daily yoga, and evening fun such as the variety show, circle jams, and dances. Camp is open to all ages 13+, and most instruments offer classes at multiple levels of speed and complexity, so there is something for everyone. 

Instruments covered at camp include guitar (flatpicking and finger/blues style), banjo (fingerpicking and clawhammer), mandolin, upright bass, fiddle, voice, songwriting, and ukulele. 

Camp sells out every year at just 150 students. NEW IN 2027: STRING CAMP TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY LOTTERY ONLY. THE LOTTERY OPENS ON DECEMBER 21, 2026, and lottery applications can be found under the LOTTERY TICKETS tab.

We also offer a robust need-based scholarship program. Email us at info@ossipeevalley.com for details. 

Hookups are available for campers at the same rates as during the festival, and tent camping is included with all tickets. Local lodging is available; visit our Camping page for more info.

The camp is funded in part by several generous foundations and anonymous donors. If you would like to support our camp's ongoing educational work and the North Atlantic Arts Alliance's year-round educational initiatives, visit the sponsors & donors area of our website to learn more.
