Join us for a brand-new musical experience at Great Camp Sagamore, led by celebrated musicians Oona Grady and James Gascoyne, along with members of the Millstone Rounders. Known for their warm, timeless sound, the Millstone Rounders play and sing classic country, bluegrass, blues, and more — all completely acoustic, gathered around a single microphone. Their style is easy on the ears and food for the soul, capturing the heart of traditional American music. Over the course of this immersive three-day retreat, participants will learn directly from our instructors in small group sessions tailored to a variety of instruments and skill levels. Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or looking to refine your technique, you’ll find inspiration, guidance, and community. Bring your musical instrument(s) of choice (including your voice!), and play and learn in the company of others. The Millstone Rounders (Oona, James, Scott Hopkins, Matt Griffin, and Dylan Perrillo) are beloved teachers as well as excellent musicians, having offered lessons, classes, and workshops at the Caffe Lena School of Music, Ashokan Banjo Camp, Flurry Fest, GrassRoots Culture Camp, and Winter Village Music Camp, and more. Modeled on our beloved Mountain Music program, this new offering brings fresh instructors and expanded musical opportunities, all set against the historic backdrop of Great Camp Sagamore. Expect jam sessions, skill-building workshops, shared meals, and evenings filled with song in true Adirondack style. Make music, make memories, and connect through the joy of acoustic sound.
