Getting
Ready for Camp
Welcome
Welcome to the online Summer Study Guide 2001, designed
to help you select the summer study program that most appeals to your
musical sensibilities and best suits your geographical needs. Whether
you’re a player, a builder, or an instrument repairer, seeking musical
enlightenment close to home or hoping to combine guitar classes with
travel adventures, you should find what you’re looking for among these
North American and European workshops. If you are involved with a
program we have overlooked, please share the information with us so
that we can update the Guide for 2002.
If you’re a newcomer to summer music study programs,
don’t be put off by the word study. Although education is the
underlying theme, these musical camps combine guitar classes and hands-on
experience in the wood shop with outdoor activities and general summertime
play. Often, what makes these programs memorable are the unscheduled
jam sessions and emotional bonding that campers experience outside
of the classroom. We’ve asked a few of our regular contributors to
illustrate by sharing some of their magical memories of summer camps
past. Click
here to read those yarns online. There is also a handy essay
about
getting ready for camp available. We hope that you too will take
the summer study plunge this year and have your own life-changing
stories to tell when the days grow shorter in the fall.

Using
the Listings
The summer-study programs are listed in three ways:
1. First, by location; within the United States, programs
are divided among major regions (Midwest, South, etc.). Names and
locations are listed here. For more detailed information, see the
alphabetical listings. Both instrumental and and lutherie programs
are listed in this directory.
2. The next list presents the instrumental programs
alphabetically, and includes locations and dates for 2001, fees, application
requirements, a description of the program and facilities, faculty
names, plus contact information with active hyperlinks to program
Web sites, email, and so forth. The substantial listings are broken
into three groups, A–G, H–R, and S–Z. Handy navigation
links are provided on the top and bottom of each page.
3. All of the instrument building and repair programs
are presented in the lutherie listings. The details listed are similar
to those provided in the instrumental listings.
