Banjo Ben's Bluegrass n' Basson Lake Fork
(Wood County, TX)
June 1-3, 2023
$899 Fishing & Camp (3 days) OR
$299 for Camp-only (1 day)
This inaugural event combines 2 of my favorite things in all the world: bluegrass music and world class largemouth bass fishing! We will spend 2 days on famed Lake Fork with great local guides, jamming in the evenings, with a full day of instruction in between. Only 10 fishing spots available, act now!
Instruments: Banjo & Guitar
Instructors: Ben Clark, Katy Lou Clark, Kristin Scott Benson
Skill Level:Honestly, if you want to have fun and learn, skill level is not important. Classes are small so a level of individual attention will be available throughout the day. It's helpful to be able to play basic rhythm and pick out basic solos, even if you have to read tab to do so.

I saw in your last email a camp upcoming in Maryland. I saw Montana listed below it with dates, so when and where in Maryland are you hosting a camp so I can look at my schedule. Thanks for an awesome learning site!
My son and I are very interested in the Nashville Experience. It’s his graduation gift if we can make it happen. I would love to reserve a spot if we could. My son Ryan is quite the banjo picker and Ben is his hero. Thanks.
Rick Thomas, Hayden, Idaho.
Regarding the Bigfork Montana Cabin Camp. Have any interest that Bruce Weber, of Weber Mandolin fame, lives there and now has a Lutherie shop just out of town? If so, let me know and I can send you contact information or speak with Bruce, whatever you would like me to do. Cwby Tim DeRoche ( a signed-up banjo student… : )
No Eddie, we do not require proof of vaccination.
I read your Covid policy. Pretty clear but you didn’t mention the v word. Is proof of vaccination required?
Thanks

Can anyone attend cabin camps? I am a gold pick member, but I know a banjo player (non-member) that might be interested in the camp.
