Frank will also host two 1-hour Live Jam Sessions via Zoom prior to camp where everyone can meet and jam on the songs in each session. (Dates/Times TBA).
POLICIES:
Age requirement: Participation is limited to those 18 years of age and older.
Cancellations and Refunds: We can refund 50% for cancellations made before January 15, 2027. We are not able to provide refunds for cancellations made on or after January 15, 2027. This reflects the difficulty of producing events that require a certain number of participants in order to plan for and to succeed. Once we have your registration, we commit to the venue, the instructors, the meals, and the staff.
Filling Your Spot: If another camper is able to take your place, we will work to substitute them, and in that case we will refund your tuition. This is the best outcome for everyone, and it's worth telling us as early as you can — the more notice we have, the better our chances of filling the seat.
Tuition Is Not Transferable: We know life happens, and we're genuinely sorry when someone has to miss a camp they were looking forward to. But we can't roll tuition forward to a future session. Every registration commits us to real costs for that camp — venue, instructors, meals, staff — and those costs stay on our books whether or not the seat is filled. Carrying tuition forward would mean paying for that seat twice. We'd love to see you at a future camp, and we hope you'll join us — but it will need to be a new registration. The one narrow exception concerns illness, described below.
