SATURDAY, MAY 21 – JAM KIDS DAY CAMP UPDATE:
The weather forecast at this point does look rainy, but this event is RAIN OR SHINE. There are indoor/covered locations for all of the workshops and the performances can be moved to from the outdoor amphitheater to the indoor theater, which is very nice.
THERE WILL BE A MANDOLIN WORKSHOP offered in Session III. We did not originally plan for this, but many of the students attending are mandolin pickers! Participants will be able to switch around their workshop choices to accommodate for this.
Schedule of Events:
11 am – Instrument Petting Zoo will be open; registration will be open.
1 pm – Please arrive by 1 pm at the latest if your child is participating in the workshops or if you are leading a workshop. There will be name tags and workshop assignments for all of the participants, and several of the children will need this time to clarify their workshop choices.
