THE 2009 AMERICANA SONG ACADEMY
WILL BE HELD SEPTEMBER 8-11

The instructors will be listed here as they're booked.

The Americana Song Academy is an exciting, comprehensive workshop with an emphasis on songwriting, lyric development, guitar technique and accompaniment. Designed for musicians, writers and songwriters of all ages who are interested in lifelong learning and acoustic American music in its finest traditions.

The Academy will be held at Camp Caldera, located in the High Cascade Mountains, just a few miles northwest of Sisters, Oregon. Caldera, located on Blue Lake high in the Cascades, is a fantastic site surrounded by pine trees and snow-capped mountains. The setting alone is inspirational.

Come join the community of folks that call “Song Camp” home each year for a pilgrimage back to your creative self.

Directions to Camp Caldera:

This Part's Really Important!

Due to an "issue" with Google maps, this will get you to within about 100 yards of the entrance to Camp Caldera.

Stay on Suttle Lake Rd., and turn left into the camp on Blue Lake Dr. (There's a big sign).

We apologize for any confusion.

Also, cell phone coverage here can be a bit, well, spotty-to-non-existant.
