Cascadia holds its annual Pipestone Music Camp in downtown Twisp.  The camp welcomes musicians who are eight years and older, including adults, on guitar and strings.

Pianists are welcome for the afternoon chamber music session.  Participants must have some fluency in music reading.

The camp is run in two sessions:

MORNING SESSION, 9:30-2pm: for beginner/intermediate guitarists. Students will work with local teacher Terry Hunt. The strings work in a large orchestral group setting as well as sectionals for more detailed work. More advanced players arrive at noon to overlap with the younger players for rehearsals and related activities, which include visits from the Methow Valley Chamber Music Festival musicians.

AFTERNOON SESSION, 2-5pm: chamber music with intensive coaching from Craig and Tara Weaver, Terry and Pam Hunt and Priscilla Jones from Bainbridge Island.

A final concert held on Friday, July 31 at 4pm, invites the public to experience the talents of camp participant.
