Hello, community!
Here comes 2026, and we’re thrilled to present our teaching and mentoring faculty for July:
Johnsmith • Susan Cattaneo • Taina Asili • Sloan Wainwright • David Roth • Vito Petroccitto • Mark Dann • Sue Riley • Glen Roethel • Julie Snow
Mark July 19-25, 2026 on your calendars at the Stony Point Center (NY) and plan to join us as we head towards our 28th annual gathering. We’ve come such a long way since our first camp in 1999 when founder Penny Nichols brought her dream to life and lit a candle that’s still burning brightly today. We’ve assembled every year since then to reconnect, collaborate, celebrate, and learn from and about one another and the world through the lenses of songwriting, creativity, and humanity. We do this by presenting the finest songwriters we know who also happen to be great, generous, fun, and humble communicators of this craft we hold so highly. We offer all-levels classes, coffeehouses, concerts, song circles, and spontaneous collaborations as we’ve collectively discovered how meaningful and enriching our time together is.
Every gathering has been special in one way or another, and 2026 will give us opportunity to once again celebrate our journey together, both as campers and community.
Sound good to you? Count on us as we count the days.
