Kentucky Bluegrass Music Camp
June 9-11, 2020
You're never too old or too young to learn to play some Bluegrass music. We started the Kentucky Bluegrass Music Camp to get youngsters as young as 6 on the road to pickin' and grinnin'.
At the end of the three day camp students will walk away with new songs, new friends, and the experience of playing on stage to kick off the 47th annual Festival of The Bluegrass!
The theme of this years’ camp is Christmas in June! So feel free to bring your ugly sweaters, jingle bells and Christmas trees; but leave the reindeer at home!

The Kentucky Bluegrass Music Camp is for students ages 6-18 and all levels of playing ability.
The camp consists of 3 days of instruction time and fun extracurricular activities under the plentiful shade trees of the Kentucky Horse Park Campground. Classes are provided for guitar, fiddle (violin), mandolin, banjo, and upright bass. Students must provide their own instrument.
The camp fee of $50 includes daily lunch, camp t-shirt, and a weekend ticket to the Festival of the Bluegrass for the student. In addition, each student will receive 2 tickets to Thursday night at the Festival of the Bluegrass so parents and loved ones can attend their performance.
Check-in begins at 8:30am on Tuesday, June 9th, with classes to begin immediately after.
There is a dedicated primitive camping area for students of the camp on Festival grounds for no additional fee, but a chaperone (18+) must be present.
Ability levels are outlined as follows and helps us to place students in the appropriate class:
All students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone aged 18+.
All activities are held outdoors under shade trees and tents, so students should prepare accordingly. They should come equipped with a folding chair along with extra picks, rosin, strings, etc. There is also a swimming pool on site to be sure to pack your swimsuits and towels!
