What: Chauncy Fiddle Camp is a fun, inclusive, and positive music camp experience for strings students. Camp activities focus on learning traditional Celtic and American fiddle tunes by ear, having fun outdoors, and making new friends!
Who: CFC is open to players of all string instruments (violin, viola, cello, and double bass) entering grades 5 through 9. Campers should have at least two years' playing experience, either with a private teacher or at school. Campers do not need prior experience with fiddle style music.
Where: CFC is held on beautiful Lake Chauncy in Westborough, MA. Address will be provided after registration.
When: June 24-28, 2024.
What is the daily schedule? Students receive three musical instruction periods daily. The schedule also includes a snack and activity break, lunch break, and an hour of water and lawn game recreation time. The last day of camp features a camper concert for family and friends.
What is Extended Camp? Extended camp activities are camper-driven and may include lawn games, board games, swimming, and boating. Campers love the extra time with their new friends! No further music instruction is provided during this time, but campers are welcome to use this time to practice their new tunes together.
