Summer JAM Camp
This summer, come JAM with us!
Our 2025 Summer JAM Camp is a 9-week summer program where school-aged students can learn guitar, fiddle, or mandolin in the old-time tradition of playing and singing by ear.
The program is appropriate for all playing levels including beginners, and students are not required to be enrolled in public school to participate.
Summer JAM will be offered at The HUB Station Arts Center, located at 145 Cedar Valley Road in Hudson. Classes begin the first week of June and conclude with an end-of-camp performance on August 14th.
Fees are $100 for all 9 weeks with a 25% discount available for 2024-25 school year JAM students, who register by May 15th, 2025, and siblings. Summer instrument rentals are available for $20. Need based scholarships are available – please reach out to michele@caldwellarts.com or your student’s instructor for more information.
