Join us this Aug 11 – 15, 2025, for our favourite week of the year!
“Don’t miss your chance to be part of the Northern Lights Bluegrass Music Camp Registration this year and connect with fellow musicians in a fun, immersive environment.”
Choose from a variety of classes including bluegrass and clawhammer banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, and upright bass. Plus, hone your vocal skills with our Vocal Harmony and Sing Out Strong classes!
But that’s not all!
We’re so excited to announce two offerings for our younger campers this year! Our Bluegrass for Young Musicians Class for budding musicians aged 7 to 12, and a continued partnership with Wild Sky Adventure to bring you the Wild Sky Forest Kids Camp. Let your little ones ages 3 to 12 dive into immersive outdoor adventures, from building fairy houses to pond dipping, fort building, and cloud gazing.
No matter your age or skill level there is a class for you!
What Is the Music Camp?
WHAT – The Northern Lights Bluegrass and Old Time Music Society hosts an all-ages Music Camp each year before the annual festival. Campers of all skill levels can join classes in acoustic instruments such as banjo, fiddle, mandolin, bass, guitar, dobro, voice, and even beginner children’s music. Throughout the week, we also offer special interest “mini-workshops” on a drop-in basis. And of course, campers enjoy plenty of organized and spontaneous jam sessions!
WHERE – We host Music Camp at the Ness Creek Site, located 20 km northeast of Big River, Saskatchewan. The boreal forest offers the perfect rustic retreat for a week of learning and music-making. Need directions? Click HERE.
WHO – Festival main stage performers lead all classes. Each participant selects one class and learns directly from their instructor throughout the week.
