Guitar Camp

The Butler Community Arts School is excited to offer a NEW camp designed for students ages 7-11 interested in guitar! Butler guitar camp is designed to expose students to the guitar and its music. Little or no prior guitar study is required. Instruction will focus on basic technique with concentration on a short melody or tune daily. Students will be introduced to a variety of guitar styles including blues, folk, rock, classical, and flamenco music. Activities will include group ensemble, games, and more! The week will conclude with a short group recital. Tuition includes snacks, a T-shirt, and all materials. Students must supply their own instrument. Acoustic guitars are preferred, but electric guitars are welcome (student must provide own amp). Registration form and $50 non-refundable deposit due by May 1; remaining tuition is due in full by June 1 for all campers. Payment can be made online by selecting "Make a Payment" on the BCAS homepage. All refund requests must be submitted via email to BCAS@butler.edu. No refunds will be issued after June 1. Late applications may be accepted on the basis of available space.
