| Alaska Traditional Music Camp will be held at Camp
Carlquist, 23 miles north of Anchorage, Mirror Lake exit.
The campground offers a quiet remote wilderness setting,
alongside Edmonds Lake, with scenic views of the Chugach
Mountains.
The camp is designed as a residential camp. Housing is
in shared cabins, which have heat and electricity. While
the housing and meals are optional, we highly recommend
staying at the camp for the whole camp experience. The camp
offers a great environment to get away from the worries
of the world and focus on playing music. Beyond the daily
classes, much can be learned from the evening activities,
dances, concerts and jam sessions. The communal spirit of
the camp provides great accessibility to the staff.
Canoes are available, as well as miles of hiking and biking
trails. Recreational facilities are on site. The outdoor
natural amphitheater features a large firepit, great for
singing around the campfire and roasting marshmallows. There
are numerous informal porch sessions, open to everyone to
join in or just sit back and listen.
And there are plenty of secluded places to get away for
some quiet practice time or quiet rest.
