JAM Camp
Make Music. Make Friends. Make Summer Count.
Celebrate Music & Tradition at JAM Camp.
JAM Camp offers a fun, immersive experience where young musicians explore Appalachian traditions through music, crafts, storytelling, games, and nature. Held rain or shine on the CHS campus, most activities take place outdoors, with covered spaces available as needed. Campers in grades 4–8 will enjoy hands-on learning in a supportive, screen-free environment—cell phones are not permitted—while building skills, friendships, and confidence.
Participants may bring their own instruments or join the beginner “Music Explorers” group to try several options. Families are encouraged to send campers with water bottles, closed-toe shoes, and weather-appropriate gear. Each day begins promptly at 10:00am, with check-in required, and concludes with a special performance at The Village Green, celebrating all that campers have learned.
Cashiers Historical Society and Junior Appalachian Musicians (JAM) Blue Ridge will host the third annual JAM Camp this summer!
Registration is open for youth in grades 4–8.
Join us for three days of music, activities, and fun on the CHS campus.
On the final day of camp, Friday, July 24, JAM Campers will present a short concert at The Village Green before the weekly "Groovin' on the Green" concert begins.
