Camp Location Information

Cerveny Conference CenterMap

Suwannee Banjo Camp takes place at the Cerveny Conference Center at Camp Weed located in Live Oak, Florida.

Camp Weed was established in the 1920s as an Episcopalian retreat and extends for hundreds of acres. There are wooded areas, trails and athletic fields; plus gym, pool, a chapel, and beautiful White Lake. The Cerveny Center is of more modern vintage and includes a wide variety of meeting rooms, a modern glass fronted dining hall, and a lovely courtyard facing the Lake. The courtyard is ideal for jamming through the day and into the evening, or simply hanging out and watching the egrets, blue herons, and other water fowl take off and land. This is a truly superior facility and an ideal setting for a music camp.
