Frequently asked questions.

August 1st.

No, you'll be able to choose classes you want to attend each day while at camp. We only ask that you try to attend classes of an appropriate skill level.

Still photos are OK, but we do not allow video recording, as most teachers (and students) would prefer not to be recorded.

Audio recordings are allowed, ask teachers' approval before recording classes.

Yes, as long as there's space available.

Cancellations before August 1st will incur a $75 cancellation fee, we will refund the rest of your payments. After August 1st, no refunds are available.

Supervised children are welcome, but we do not have any childcare facilities available. Please contact us for more information.

We do have vegetarian and some vegan options at all meals. If you have other dietary restrictions please let us know, but you may have to supplement camp meals with your own food.

Most likely your phone will lose service about a half-hour out, and you'll remain uninterrupted throughout your stay at camp. There is generally wi-fi available at the bakery across the street, although we can't promise.

Yes, space permitting, although there are no hook-ups. Please contact us to confirm space.

Yes, but you need to email us and register early! Be prepared to miss some class time on either side of dinner.

Good question. We do have some camp drums (a few surdos, repiniques, caixas, tamborims, and congas) available for use in the baterias and other classes. Other students will sometimes be willing to share their instruments, but you should plan on bringing what you can to be sure you'll have an instrument to play. There are also instruments available at the camp store for purchase. In addition, we'll have 2 drum sets, 2 pianos, and a bass rig available for ensemble classes.

There are bed frames and thin mattresses in the tents. You should bring a sleeping bag or bedding and a pillow.

Days sometimes get hot (80's-90's), but the nights are usually cold. Layered clothing is essential!

Yes. If you prefer privacy over sharing a tent with three others, that's a good option. There are plenty of places to pitch your own tent.

We will have a trained medical professional on site.
