The Bluegrass, Old-Time, and Roots Music Program is excited to host our fourth annual ETSU Bluegrass Summer Camp for kids and teens – ages 12 to 19 – to be held on the campus of East Tennessee State University July 5-9, 2027. The five-day camp offers young musicians a glimpse into university life and a chance to experience the high-quality musical instruction that ETSU is known for.

At the camp, you’ll be able to take instrumental and vocal lessons from industry leaders, receive band coaching, explore a professional recording laboratory, learn about bluegrass music history, and more. Special events throughout the week will include square dances, instructor and student concerts, jams, band coaching sessions, and campus tours.

Mark your calendars and save the date! Registration will open in January of 2027. More details TBA.
