Weekends

Our weekends are a great opportunity to sing, jam, learn, hang out, and generally enjoy good music in good company in great surroundings. You do not have to be a performer to enjoy the weekend--anyone who is interested in hearing folk music of all kinds will have a great time. General FAQs. Children at weekends FAQs.  We hold three a year:

  • Spring - Memorial Day weekend, Friday 24 May through Monday 27 May, 2013. Featured staff, workshops, concerts, camper concerts, jams, sings, dances, etc. See more information.  Read one member's comments
  • Fall - Early November, 2013 at the Hudson Valley Resort and Spa, Kerhonkson, NY.   Featured staff, workshops, concerts, camper concerts, jams, sings, dances, etc...

Whether you come to every weekend, come occasionally, or have never tried it, please take our weekend survey.

Got Kids?
Spring and Fall we often offer kids' programs, such as a “petting zoo” where they can actually handle different instruments (fun for adults too!) and more. So bring the kids, grand-kids, etc., and encourage families you know to join us. See also the Children's FAQs.
