After the demos we will be available to answer any questions you may have regarding the year-round WGTB group.

If you get lost, please contact Becky at (559) 393-1036.
Your camper will need to be checked IN and checked OUT EVERY DAY!
When you check your camper in, we’ll give them a sticky name tag to wear while they’re on-site.
Camper Needs
EAR PROTECTION: It can get very loud in the camp rooms. We strongly suggest you purchase some quality ear protection for your camper that they feel comfortable using independently. We will provide squishy foam earplugs on-site for those that need them. Over-ear protection works well for younger campers or campers who struggle with the fit of in-ear protection.
WATER BOTTLE: We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle to camp. There are drinking fountains with bottle-fillers in the building for us to use.
No food or drinks other than water should be consumed inside the classrooms. If your camper needs snacks please let a camp helper know so we can help them eat their snacks in appropriate spaces.
INSTRUMENTS: We supply all instruments & implements, so no need to bring anything along from home!
INTERESTED IN THE YEAR-ROUND GROUP? There will be a parent information meeting on Friday after the demo/performance. Anyone interested in considering becoming part of the year-round group should attend this meeting.
