Gift Certificates
Only students may fill out applications for workshop sessions. If you are wishing to sign a loved-one up for a workshop please consider our gift certificates. Filling out an application for another is strictly prohibited because we are very careful about class level placement to ensure students are at the proper level and receive the instruction they need and desire. Our application contains a series of questions only the applicant will be able to answer about their skill level/playing abilities that we rely upon to determine an applicant’s abilities and placement. Gift Certificates are the perfect alternative.
Gift Certificates are available in any amount. Gift Certificates are good for two years from year it is issued and are non-transferable. All gift certificates are non-refundable after 30 days from purchase date.
Guest and Guest Fees
We love guests, but have some policies regarding them: Guests may attend all meals, campfires, Saturday evening performance, and Sunday’s student performance. During scheduled workshop times guests are asked to leave the premises so they do not become an object of distraction for our instructors or students.
