Karen,

The single biggest "class" we have is the Folk Chorus, with 30 to 40 folks participating, usually (about half of the camp). Gordon Bok and Anne Dodson lead that session -- they focus on teaching the group some great choral music and warmups and harmonizing, etc. Then Gordon is doing a series of 1-on-1 sessions focused on singing -- he says he'll help folks bring the best out of their voices.

Cindy Kallet will lead a weeklong workshop on arranging songs, and she puts an emphasis on harmonies and vocal technique as well as instrumental work -- a cappella singers are welcome.

We usually have a sacred harp sing every afternoon, and a singaround each evening. There are usually one-day sessions for singers throughout the week, too; these are offered based on staff and camper interests. In the past we've had sessions of Broadway songs, a "chanteyblast", mouthmusic, rounds, badwdy songs, etc.

Peggy Lynn's songwriting class is popular with singers, of course -- no need to play an instrument to participate. The Working with Guitar and Voice class teaches songs and accompaniment techniques.

We've got a number of campers who are primarily singers, and they keep coming back. You can also use the week to try out an instrument, too...

There are several kitchen jobs available -- you work the same meal every day doing set up and clean up (total commitment maybe an hour a day). Cabins are semi-communal (two to four per), and there are local B&Bs we can recommend.

I like having a week where I can concentrate exclusively on music and let the rest of the world go by.

Be well,

Jerry
