Kerrville Music Camp for Teens

July 16 - 20, 2023

Guitar

LOCATION:   Quiet Valley Ranch – 3876 Medina Hwy, Kerrville, Texas 78028

AGES:   13-18 years of age (12 yr olds will be allowed upon approval from Camp Director)

OVERVIEW:  
For sixteen years, the Kerrville Music Camp for Teens has been successful by coaching and inspiring personal greatness through the medium of creative writing and music.  The campers experience positive reinforcement activities that include nature walks, canoe trips on the Guadalupe River, Open Mic Nights and daily sessions with world class professional artists.  This camp is a highly motivational and safe environment with a special emphasis on encouraging respect for others.  It is perfect for teens who want to explore music and creative writing in a fun, safe and supportive environment.  

     Our artist instructor staff for the past 16 years includes five-time GRAMMY Award winner, Roy Wooten, two-time GRAMMY Award nominee, Steve Seskin, Tom Prasada-Rao, Annie Wenz, Ken Gaines, Bill Oliver and Jena Kirkpatrick.  Along with the core faculty, there is a team of staff members, including professionals from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera, medical professionals, and a group of dedicated volunteers. This camp is licensed by the State of Texas Camp Regulations and is a joint program between the Boys & Girls Clubs of Bandera County and the Kerrville Folk Festival Foundation.    

CAMP FEES:  The camp fee is only $75 to attend and includes meals, lodging and all activities. 

Although the entire camp expenses for 60+ youth and 30+ volunteers and staff are approximately $300 per teen, contributions and donations to the KFF Foundation continue to be the lifeline sustaining this amazing program.
