Questions

Frequently asked

Does my child need experience?

No. Beginners and seasoned performers both thrive here. Instructors meet each camper where they are, with one-on-one and small-group time.

What should campers bring?

Their instrument (if they play one), an instrument stand for each instrument they are bringing to camp, comfortable clothes, and a water bottle. Questions about what to pack? Just ask, we’re happy to help.

Where do Weatherford campers stay?

The Weatherford College camp is a day camp, so families arrange their own housing.

Can my camper attend both camps?

Yes, many do! Just select both camps on the registration form. Tuition is per camp.

Is the final concert open to the public?

Absolutely. Each camp ends with a public concert on Thursday evening. Invite family and friends.

How do I pay?

Pay by card when you register online, or mail a check payable to “Y Bar J Productions” (with “Camp” in the memo) to Judy James, P.O. Box 953, Weatherford, TX 76086.
