There are also still scholarships available - rental dulcimers, too.
Extra Activities: Yoga fans should plan to bring their mats… we have an outdoor class before breakfast led by several people. Ukulele players like to get together to play and sing so bring a uke if you have one. Lorinda Jones will offer a pennywhistle class one afternoon around 4:30, so be sure and bring a whistle if you have one.
Camp Store: If you need any dulcimer accessories, don’t worry - we have capos, picks, strings, straps, tuners, music stands, books, CDs, and brand new dulcimers for sale at the camp store! We take cash, checks, and credit cards.
