West Marin Fiddle Camp is an outdoor, all-acoustic camp focused on folk, old-time, bluegrass, country, cajun/zydeco, and roots music, with world-class instructors teaching acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and more. The camp is small, artist-run, and grass-roots, with about 50–75 total campers, and is described as a family camp. It is an all-acoustic roots music camp centering on immersion in rural American traditions through oral tradition, and campers do not use sheet music. The camp includes homemade, locally sourced, healthy meals with gourmet dinners by chefs, and all students are asked to do two meal shifts during the week, one clean-up and one cooking shift. Overnight campers sleep in their own tent, van, or RV, and indoor instrument storage is available in a yurt. The event happens rain or shine, digital detox is encouraged, and the camp states a consent culture with no smoking or vaping on the premises and discreet, responsible alcohol use. Students under 21 must be accompanied by a paying parent or guardian, and overnight campers under 18 must have a paying supervising guardian on site. Work-trade options and the option to pay in installments are available.
West Marin Fiddle Camp states that it exists to gather musicians and students of all levels and enrich lives through music, connection, and shared experience, with an emphasis on being immersed in nature and unplugged from modern digital distractions. The mission includes supporting learning at every stage of life while honoring the roots of traditional and folk music, learning from masters of the tradition, and carrying forward the oral tradition of acoustic, live music played for joy, connection, and the nourishment of spirit and community. West Marin Fiddle Camp is described as an artist-run, grass-roots, family camp.
One parent testimonial describes attending West Marin Fiddle Camp as an “absolutely amazing experience” after three camps, and notes that the kids program was warm and welcoming, with a balance of structured music learning and playful downtime, and that it was a helpful first step for that parent and child to get introduced to fiddle tunes and grow as musicians together.
