From Monday, July 16 through Friday, July 20, students ages 6-14 can be immersed in the traditional music of the foothills at PacJAM summer camp. Students received instruction in their choice of banjo, fiddle, guitar, mandolin, or ukulele with enrichment classes in dancing, folk songs, and storytelling.
