Jamming experience is not necessary.The only requirement is the ability to play rhythm for the following chords: G, C, D, A. Instrumental soloing and fast playing are not required or expected. Campers learn to follow chord changes, pick out melodies, improvise solos, sing harmony, and follow the ground rules of bluegrass jamming in supervised small groups.

Pete Wernick taught his first weeklong bluegrass camp in 1980, and over 100 bluegrass and banjo camps since. He will perform in the bluegrass supergroup Hot Rize, as they, along with Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers, headline this year's Grey Fox Festival.
