I have been to Monroe Mandolin Camp for three years now and love it.

Sitting around eating pizza and refreshments, jamming with Mike Compton himself, and other instructors is pretty much a high point for me!! I have many, many instructor friends, luthier friends like Paul Duff and Will Kimble, and students from USA and abroad.

I love the atmosphere of the camp. It is like a continuum between instructor and student with no distinction. It is like we are all on a path to improve our musicianship by studying Mr. MONROE’s artistry.

I have been to many camps, but have never felt so much a part of a family as I do at this camp.

See you in September! —George del Porto, September 17, 2017

I enjoyed Monroe Mandolin Camp very much. Very laid-back and comfortable setting, met some great folks who I will be friends with forever. The most impressive part was the accessibility of the instructors, ever ready to pick or answer a question (David Davis rules!). Listening to Raymond Huffmaster’s and The Bluegrass Boys stories was a real treat. If you are going to be with a group of people for several days I can’t think of a better bunch than Monroe-focused musicians. And how Heidi can be in several places at once and pull it all off so effortlessly amazes me. Thanks to Mike and Heidi for putting this together-great fun! —Gary Darling, March 5, 2016
