More Information »

Maine Fiddle Camp is a family music camp in central Maine. The camp takes place in June and August, and also offers online programming throughout the year. Our instructors emphasize learning tunes the traditional way—by ear. Campers of all levels are welcome—from skilled players to people who have never played before.

Note About “Real” Camp This Year

Things are changing so fast on the Covid front (local, state and national mandates) so it is difficult to predict what the situation will be this summer, BUT there is a possibility that we will have a “live in-person” Camp in August. This would be sort of a “welcome back” party to both campers and staff. BUT, once again, it will be one week only, Aug 8-14. Mark your calendar and cross your fingers!
