Welcome to Alaska Folk Arts Music Camp!
June 11-15th, 2012
Alaska Folk Arts Camp is a 5-day folk music & folk arts summer camp located in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska. Campers are immersed in music-making, dance & fun that we hope will spark a creative flame which will burn year around!
Students range in age from 8-17 & take 4 classes each day. These classes include at least 1 Performance Group from which our Friday End of Camp Concert is built. The other 3 classes campers take can be anything of interest chosen from 3 broad categories Folk Arts, Jams & Repertoire, & Instruments.
Activities begin before camp: morning Sing-Alongs & Square/Contra Dances. After-camp Open Mic Concerts encourage campers to perform pieces they've learned. Evening events include a Jam at a local cafe, Faculty Concert, Camp Dance & an End of Camp Concert. Families are welcomed at these before & after camp activities!
Adult Evening Workshops!
Adults can join in the musical fun, too! Classes just for them are now available on Monday & Tuesday evenings.
These workshops are opened to all adults at all levels of expertise, taught by our talented faculty. Classes will be tailored to the interests of participants & the skills of the instructors.
