Program Tracks + Fees
🎻 Teen Camp Tracks *new!
Week #1 and Week #2 Camps serve ALL levels of campers on violin, viola, cello and guitar, ages 6-16. Teens are welcome! Beginner students must have at least 1 year of private lessons before attending Fiddle Camp.
Campers are grouped by ability level and are placed into “tracks.”
General Track: If your child is a beginner/early intermediate player or very young, they will be grouped with campers their age to learn a variety of fiddle tunes customized for their ability! You will indicate “General Track” on the registration page and that’s it! Remember you can sign up for both weeks! SO FUN!
Major/Minor Track: Just like choosing a major/minor in college, this indicates two areas of focus. Intermediate to advanced players select two tracks: a major and a minor. Campers will deep dive into those specific types of fiddle music. You will register your camper for TWO of the tracks. See what we’ve cooked up for 2026 Tracks below! Remember you can sign up for both weeks!
But wait, there’s more!
🎻 Camp Fees
Teen Camp is a customized, specific week of tunes being taught to advanced players 14 and older. We welcome violin, viola, cello and guitar. Teens are welcome at our General Camps too! Sign up for multiple weeks!
Cho0se between two Teen Camp tracks below:
Teen Camp General - Learn tunes, work on arrangements and perform in the camp concert!
Teen Camp Counselor - Learn tunes, work on arrangements, perform in the camp concert AND Teacher Training! Campers on this track will learn teaching skills directly from Kate & Sophie who are both certified Suzuki trained teachers with 15 years teaching experience. Sessions will cover classroom management, how to break down a tune and real live student teaching.

Announcing the Viola & Cello Track!
During Week #1 We are SO EXCITED to have a track dedicated specifically to viola & cello. If your child plays either of these instruments, make sure the viola/cello track is one of your choices! Teacher Kevin is here to help!
Week #1 July 20 - 24
🎻 Viola/Cello Track - Teachers Kevin & Mirabai
🎻 Oldtime Track - Teacher Gabrielle
🎻 Ragtime Track - Teacher Kate
🎻 Scandinavian Track - Teacher Mirabai
We welcome cellos and violas during Week #2 as well, we just don’t have a specific “track” designed for them. They will be grouped with kids of their ability on other instruments. We hope that with increased interest, we can offer the viola/cello track BOTH weeks next year!
Week #2 August 3-7
🎻 Irish Track - Teacher Betsy
🎻 Oldtime Track - Teacher Sophie
🎻 Eastern European Track - Teacher Mirabai
🎻 Newfoundland Track - Teacher Eli
Unless your child is a beginner to early intermediate player, remember to choose two tracks for each week. Fiddle camp has LOTS of kids who sign up for both weeks — thereby learning 4 different styles of fiddle music!
