What do you do at Strawberry Jam Camp?

Plenty! First off, no jamming’ experience necessary. You will be jamming the first day! Friendly, encouraging, knowledgeable teaching. Mistakes allowed!

Do you qualify? It is easier than you may think! If you play guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, bass, or dobro… you can be part of a bluegrass jam.

Only requirements, bring your instrument(s) and plan to have FUN!

Sharing a Passion

We are fortunate to have some of the most knowledgeable instructors at

Strawberry Jam Camp. They genuinely enjoy helping others get the most

out of their instrument.  For more on our instructors click here

Jamming Etiquette

You will learn how to hear chords and chord changes and you will learn

tips on playing in time, after all rhythm is King. You will learn how to

play along with songs you do not know, the role your instrument has in a

song. You will learn the dynamics of playing loud and soft, fast and

slow, and how to support a song. 

How your day will roll

Strawberry Jam Camp is held at the St. Mary's Catholic Church.  Each day begins at 9:00 a.m. with a continental breakfast, followed by the morning sessions. Lunch will be provided by local restaurants. The afternoon sessions wrap up around 4:00 p.m. Students are encouraged to take their newly honed jammin' skills to uptown venues or out to the Backbone Bluegrass Festival grounds for live jammin' sessions around the campfires. 

Get ready for fun

At the start of Jam Camp each student is assigned to a group.  With the help of the instructors this newly formed band will learn one or two songs to perform on Friday evening at the annual Backbone Bluegrass Festival.  This is a fun and enjoyable opportunity to share what the students have learned.  Get ready to have some fun, make friends and jam like you've never jammed before!

Now that you know what our jam camp is all about, you can register here.  Need to know what are instructors bring to the stage, read more here
