Re: Mandolin Camps
I've been to two mandolin-specific "camps" but I've been to a ton of genre camps. I've found that the genre camps appear to give more bang for the buck, if that's a consideration. One of the mandolin-specific gatherings fulfilled my craving for playing with other mandolin and mandolin-type instruments enough that I repeated it for several years and would do it again if it hadn't moved -- and become too expensive. I'll probably do it again, but not for a year or two. The genre camps, on the other hand, each lasted a full week, included food and housing AND music and the ability to do touristy stuff if I wanted. That really is a vacation with the added fillup of music.
