The 2020 Virtual String Camp
While we regret that we were not able to come together this year at the festival grounds, we are so thankful to the many donors who have made it possible to pay our instructors a salary to put together a miniature virtual camp. The videos below are from each string camp instructor, each video teaches a different song. Those attendees who donated their string camp ticket are also receiving a special virtual concert from the instructors on Labor Day Weekend. If you rolled over, or donated your ticket, you will also be receiving a special gift in the mail as a thank you!
Hope to see you next summer, and enjoy! Please consider supporting these artists whether through purchasing music, lessons, or signing up for 2021 string camp.
Please visit this page to learn about the instructors, and to visit their websites where you can support their work. Many instructors also have their own Youtube channels which you can click through to from the video you watch. Those with channels have a photo on their video (rather than a letter) in the upper left corner.
