Special "Kids & Family" Activities & Music Workshops
We are happy to announce the return of our very special Summergrass Kids Camp, which will take place August 20-22, during Summergrass 2010 at the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Museum in Vista, CA. Children 6 to 16 who pre-register will receive hands-on instruction in learning to play the traditional bluegrass instruments of fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin and bass. 
 
Whether you are an advanced-level musician or a beginner, kids will be put in an instrument class appropriate to their level of experience. They'll learn something and have fun no matter what their level. Everyone is welcome!
For the latest Kids Camp info,send us an email at kidscamp@summergrass.net, or call Jeff at 951-302-1503.

This just in, hot off the presses. Orion Johanning, of Temecula, Ca. won the Topanga banjo contest in the intermediate division beating out all other contestants. Johanning has attended Kids Camp and other banjo workshops at the Summergrass Bluegrass Festival for the past several years. He has performed on the Summergrass Main stage with other Summergrass youth attendees as part of the Kids Camp experience and it's been great to watch his progress. He has also attended many campouts where he has jammed with many other campers.

He is pictured here with a winners certificate and new instruction book. It appears that his learning and much dedicated practice time has paid off for him. Congratulations Orion! Photo courtesy of Jeff Johanning.
