Northwest Jam Camp will offer one session this summer, which will run from Monday, August 22nd, through Saturday morning, August 27th (one day longer than last year). Jam Camp is sponsored by the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop and offers musicians the opportunity to play music without the pressure of busy schedules and city life in a beautiful setting for the price of $350.00 and $300.00 (US) for Canadians and sliding scale for children (see below)

 

 

DAY TO DAY LIFE AT JAM CAMP

§         Jam Camp creates a time and place for individuals, musical groups, and bands to .woodshed. and cover new musical territory in a serene environment.

§         There are no scheduled events except meals.

§         There are no events scheduled at night, so jamming in many different musical styles takes place in a free-flowing manner, with time for that quality nap.

§         Jam Camp attracts musicians of the highest caliber, so listening and learning while others play exciting music is a big plus.

 

THE SETTING

§         Pilgrim Firs, located on the outskirts of Port Orchard, Washington, is a beautiful conference center set in the woods surrounding charming Lake Flora. Swimming, canoeing, and hiking the trail around the lake are .must dos. while you are at camp. Bedding is supplied for those staying in the on-site lodging.

§         Tent camping is always an option in the field or in the South Lodge meadow. Be prepared for rain.

§         The wonderful staff of Pilgrim Firs will provide 3 well-balanced meals per day and a small nightly snack.

 

THE STAFF

§         Facilitators: We are fortunate to have the wonderful musicians Ed Johnson, Brian Butler and Laurel Bliss joining us this year to provide assistance to those who may an extra boost to find fun music opportunities at camp. They will also facilitate a vocal warm up each morning.

§         This year Suze Marshall and John Foster will share the role of Child Care Coordinators. They will provide a 2-hour activity program in the morning and help facilitate afternoon activities with parents and children. They are looking forward to integrating the kids program into the music community by facilitating music making with the kids. Alison Odell will help organize parents for the afternoon activities.

§          Paula Walters is the year round Jam Camp Coordinator and the on-site coordinator and Julian Smedley will provide on-site registration. Doug Chandler is our recycling specialist.

 

Families At Camp
