Weather permitting, workshops will happen outdoors, allowing teachers and students to enjoy some fresh mountain air. In the event of rain, workshops will be held indoors. The chalets are located on Lac Lamoureux; a beach, canoes and “pedalos” (small paddle boats) will be at our disposal for the week!

COVID-19:
The camp will provid disinfectant and masks, but we suggest you to bring your own provisions.
Instruments security
Although the cottages are close to each other, they will not be locked. In addition, there will be no specific location allocated for storing instruments. Therefore, the best way to ensure that your instrument is safe is to have it in the eye. Take note, however, that we will be several musicians … So there is little chance of being stolen between us, but for more security, we suggest to be cautious and alert to visitors! Make sure the case of your instrument is identified so that you can recognize it easily.
