GET MORE INFO / REGISTER HERE!


Skill Level:
The camp will be aimed at intermediate pickers. Beginners are encouraged to attend because there will be much to be gained, and you'll have access to the videos as you grow in your picking. Advanced pickers are also encouraged to attend as they will also find much value in the material covered.

The price is $149, which includes:

  • A ~1 hour group lesson with each of the four instructors
  • Q&A session with all the instructors
  • $20 Banjo Ben General Store gift card for gear & accessories!

Cancellation policy: All cancellations will incur a 3.5% processing fee. No refunds after October 1, 2024. If for some reason the event is not able to be held, refunds will be given to those who cannot reschedule.

FAQs:

  1. Will the camp be recorded for future access? You bet! All sessions will be recorded and registrants will be sent a private link where they can access the material (video, tabs, & other downloads) as often as they need.
  2. Do I have to attend live? No, since the event will be recorded, those who can't make it live will have access after the event is over.
  3. What topics will be taught? Each instructor will present a different topic, ranging from creating solos & playing backup to developing speed & jam techniques.
  4. Do all the camp sessions happen in one evening?Yes, they will be presented back to back with a break between each session for bathroom visits and banjo-tuning.
  5. Do I need any special equipment to attend?An internet connection with a device like a computer or iPad is all that's needed. However, it's a plus if you have a microphone & webcam as we'll be taking questions from the class & encouraging interaction.

Do you have a store front, where I can go and check out your instruments and other merchandise?

I’ll be in Tyler Texas from Michigan next week.

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.

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.

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… : )

I read your Covid policy. Pretty clear but you didn’t mention the v word. Is proof of vaccination required?
Thanks
