PFC is a day camp for kids in Portland, Oregon founded in 2008 by local teacher and musician Kate O'Brien.
Sophie Enloe joined Kate in 2013 and we have grown from 1 week of camp with 30 campers to 2 weeks with more than 120 campers. Our growth and the demand for meeting our students where they are has motivated us to launch two new programs in 2026: “Cello & Viola track” and a “Teen Camp” for ages 13+ who have outgrown our general camp. Teen Camp also features an optional Teacher Training module for campers interested in becoming counselors! So cool!

In our general camps, tunes & campers are arranged in 3 levels of study for everyone age 6-16. We welcome players from beginner to advanced ability, on violin, viola & cello.

Camp highlights include a special guest "Fiddle Hero or Heroine", an outdoor square dance with a live dance band and our amazing end-of-week outdoor concert. We require campers have at least 1 year of private study to attend fiddle camp.  Note reading is not required but is helpful. Email Kate if you have more questions.

Come check us out - we’re excited to play music!
