INTRODUCTION

Is your Folk Army soldier ready to spend a week building friendships, strengthening their musical abilities, and having fun with a passionate group of fellow music-lovers? Folk Army’s Day Camp is the perfect getaway!

During this week-long music and craft program, students will be given a thorough offering of instrumental courses for fiddle, guitar, and ukulele, a wide selection of specialized activities, including songwriting, wellness exercises, and art sessions, and, at the end of the week, a full performance for parents and relatives!

The Folk Army Day Camp is an excellent introduction or complement to your experience with Folk Army, and a great way to familiarize yourself with fellow soldiers, instruments, and the world around you!
