I loved my banjo camp experience! The instructors were amazing and I really got a lot out of the classes. There’s nothing I didn’t like. I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed this camp.

I can’t change all the troubling things that make people angry , but I can make the world better in small ways through getting better at my personal music skills it is inspiring to be around talented people at SBC and I learned new ways to improve myself and a path forward to getting better with direction and ideas of the great teachers here . I am practicing I notice that songs or skills that were difficult a month ago are easier now, and I have a small sense of progress in my life. Playing banjo helps keep me in a happy mood and able to share that happiness with others. Thank you! (Ron Schnellbacher: Flagler Beach FL)

I had a great time, learned a lot, and very much looking forward to next year! I especially like the fact that Suwannee Banjo Camp offers the novice Level Banjo Class.  This level is not available at some of the other camps I have attended.
