Getting Prepared for Camp

Frank will be providing all campers access to camp materials via download. In addition, he has provided song lesson videos so everyone can become familiar with the songs before they arrive. 

He will also host two 1-hour "Live" Jam Sessions via Zoom prior to camp where everyone can meet and jam on the songs in each session. (Dates/Times TBA).

Birdland Field Trip

We will be chartering a bus to bring all campers (who wish to attend) to Birdland on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 to attend Frank’s weekly Jazz Guitar Residency. This week at Birdland the camp instructors will join Frank at the storied venue. There is no additional charge for this. (Note, there is no obligation to attend, an instructor will remain at the hotel that evening to jam with campers who would prefer to get more playing time in).

POLICIES  

Age requirement: Participation limited to those 18 years of age and older.

COVID 19 Vaccination Policy: Big Jersey is now requiring that all camp attendees be vaccinated against the COVID 19 virus—and provide proof of vaccination upon request—as a prerequisite to camp attendance. Please note this policy reflects Big Jersey’s commitment to the health and safety of all of its campers and staff.

Cancellation/Refund Policy: We are able to refund 50% for cancellations made before August 1, 2024.  Unfortunately, we are not able to provide refunds for cancellations made on or after August 1, 2024. Please note this General Policy reflects the difficulty of producing events that do require a given number of participants in order to plan for and to succeed. However, if there is a camper who is able to take your spot, we will work to substitute them and, in that circumstance, provide a refund.

Sick Policy: If you feel sick or unwell, do not come to camp. Call us and explain the situation and we will apply your tuition toward an upcoming similar camp. No one will forfeit their tuition fee for making the responsible decision to recuperate safely at home because they are sick. The health of all campers and staff is paramount.
