Bandura Camp

Open to students ages 12–18

at All Saints Camp in Emlenton, Pennsylvania

Learn to play bandura!

The flagship program of Kobzarska Sich since its inception in 1979, this two-week musical experience focuses on establishing proper bandura technique and playing through group instruction, individual attention, and participation in ensembles.

Holistic education

Participants will also develop their singing skills during the Kobzarska Sich mixed ensemble evening rehearsals, male/female ensembles, with vocal warm-ups, and develop their musical skills with eurhythmics exercises and music theory assistance. Attend daily presentations related to bandura, Ukrainian music, folk traditions, and kobzarstvo (the ritual of the kobzars, the first bandura players).

Fun in the sun

Participants have time for sports, swimming, relaxation, and fun-crafted evening activities coordinated by our counselor staff. From evening bonfires to volleyball tournaments, KS is an excellent place to experience the great outdoors.
