🌲 Lark Camp is a place where all ages learn, play, and grow together!

From morning to night, you’ll have access to dozens of workshops from cultures around the world, led by master tradition-bearers and educators. We welcome complete beginners and seasoned players alike. Kids, teens, adults, and elders all learning side by side in a rare, intergenerational community.

Take a class you’ve never tried before. Join a family-friendly session. Then watch it all come alive in the evening jams, dances, and performances.

🎶 Come learn something new and join the Lark family! https://www.larkcamp.org
