Chords & Campfires

Grades: 5-8

Cabins: Ranch House

Unlock the magic of music as you embark on a journey to learn the guitar and become the ultimate campfire maestro! Dive into the world of melodies, chords, and rhythm, and soon you'll be strumming along to all your favorite tunes. When you're not playing the guitar, immerse yourself in all that camp has to offer - Paddling across the lake, climbing the Tower of Power, taking aim at archery, and so much more. While bringing your own guitar is music to our ears, it's not a prerequisite - enthusiasm and a thirst for musical adventure are all you need!

*If you have a guitar, you're encouraged to bring it, but it is not required.
