Camp is over for 2025. In 2026 VYF is going on tour and there will likely not be a camp in August of 2026. Check back later to see about camp in 2027.
We have left the 2025 info here so you can get an idea what camp is all about.
Registration and Cost
Registration will happen in a two phase approach.
Phase 1 Registration will sign you up for the camp. This includes signing up for the instruction, food, and accommodation. It will also confirm your primary instrument – fiddle, guitar or piano.
We will also ask you for some ideas on what else you wish to partake in. Do you piano players wish some instruction on the accordion? Would fiddlers like to take a crack at the mando?
Phase 1 registration is now open. We use the zone 4 registration system for camp. Please use this link to register. https://tinyurl.com/vyf-camp
Phase 2 Registration will come closer to when the camp starts, once we have the entire Program and schedule set up. During this Phase, you will be asked to sign up for the program elements you wish to participate in.
