This camp will be located in what is known as the Miller Annex at 223 Cherry Street in Helena-West Helena. It will begin each morning at 9 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. As with most of our events, it if free and open to all young people who register. Ages 6 - 13.
Morning sessions, which run until noon, will feature musicians Ric Patton and Terry "Big T" Williams. Attendees participate in hands-on-instruction in guitar, harmonica, and songwriting.
