New for 2026

• Sunday Schedule Change: After many years of low attendance on Sundays, we’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate Sunday music. We know that after a weekend packed with pickin’, laughin’, and late-night jams, folks are ready to pack up, hit the highway, and roll home safe and smiling. But never fear campers, there is no rush on Sunday; take your time, pick some tunes with friends, and soak in the last bit of camp magic.  Just please depart by 5pm. 
• New Wednesday Fun: Don’t worry—we’re making up for it! Wednesday night will now feature bluegrass karaoke and a super fun dance band for our early-arriving campers. So get those dancin’ shoes ready!
• Kids Academy Update: With the schedule change, the Kids Academy performance will move to Saturday, giving our young pickers and singers a chance to perform for a bigger audience. Yay!
• Introducing “Any Day Tickets”: Perfect for folks who like to plan ahead but aren’t sure which day they’ll attend.
