​Log cabins in the woods, a lodge by the lake, hiking trails, plenty of good food, 
new friends and lots of home made music.​

No classes...
eat, jam, sleep, repeat!


Our thanks to you all --
​for making Summer Acoustic Music so wonderful, and so memorable.
Fine music, interesting conversations, great companions; all the pieces are there for us.  SAM camp is woven from the talent, energy, and musical skill of the people who attend it. 

​Thanks again!
