JayDean Ludiker hosts the camp outside of Spokane, WA.

The kids had a blast as it was held in a huge old barn, at The Rockin' B Ranch. Kids slept in tents or the loft of the barn (where they have a nightly cowboy show-supper club). They had a teacher there for our guitar and mando kids as well as the fiddlers. Those back-up kids got a great work-out, as they learned every song that every clbutt played during the week ........and then backed them all up during the last night's graduation show at the Supper-Club.

They kinda focus on kids who are competing in fiddle compebreastions, but they made a huge effort to help our "band kids"......even going so far as letting our kids open for the Supper Club the night before camp started and then taking just our kids over to a practise session for the guitar teacher's BG band.

fiddle, mandolin.

That is Soooooooooooo Cooooooool!!! If they want to pen-pal w-other kids pickin' BG email me! :)
