I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I pulled my car up to the cabin at Camp Harrison, site of Pete Wernick’s pre-Merlefest Jam Camp. It was in April 2014, and since that time, the “Boomer Camp” has become a regular fixture of my year.
I have added one other major camp to my current schedule–I also really enjoy Leigh and Gilbert Nelson’s Abingdon, VA camp that takes place before the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival. Both of these camps are about 4 days long, the campers eat and sleep on-site, and both have become my favorite ways to spend my vacation time.
