 Hi folks,
Just want to let you know — we're just days from the April 12 deadline for a $15 discount on this year's Silver Bay Bluegrass Camp in NY's Adirondack Mountains.
When I say this is the best bluegrass camp I can imagine, I really mean it! I've run music camps since 1980 and worked at many camps run by others. And all the things I think make a camp great come together in one place and time -- the end of summer at the Silver Bay Y and Conference Center on the shores of serene Lake George. Our students love this camp and I couldn't be prouder to present it!
 
Here's why you should join us!- First-rate staff — Experienced pro bluegrass musicians (top-notch pickers and singers) and teachers -- as knowledgeable and as enjoyable as can be found in the northeast:
Austin Scelzo (Camp Co-Director) Emory Lester, Bob Amos, Barry Mitterhoff, Ellen Carlson, Scott Hopkins, Ira Gitlin — not necessarily bluegrass household names, but they're great musicians and I know of no better teachers. - Beautiful and comfortable environment
 - Two levels of instruction for each bluegrass instrument
- Nighttime activities featuring music, education, and fun (karaoke, history, open mic, gospel show, optional student concert, more)
- Daily bluegrass trio singing instruction with coaches
- 6/1 student/teacher ratio, individualized instruction
- Limited in size -- everyone knows everyone
- Band lab with optional performance
- Lots of jamming in balanced bluegrass groups, with instructive coaching by staff
- Optional instruction sessions on many topics (songwriting, music theory, performance, more)
- Great-sounding 110 year-old large all-wood auditorium
- On-site accommodations from humble/lo-cost to upscale
- Many great outdoor and water activities for all ages (kayaks, climbing gym, tennis, etc.)
