Q: Do campers need to have/bring their own instruments?

A: We encourage campers to have/bring their own guitars, basses, and keyboards but we realize that for many campers this will be their first experience playing these instruments. Therefore it is our aim to create a no-cost instrument loan program for the week. A number of drum kits and amplifiers will be on site.
