Earful of Fiddle Music & Dance Camp was established in 2009 to bring together aspiring fiddlers, guitarists and percussive dancers and experienced dancers and musicians with a knack for passing it on. Situated lakeside, at the friendly confines of the School Section Lake Family Camp in Mecosta, Michigan, Earful of Fiddle offers three days of classes in all levels of traditional fiddling, percussive dance, banjo and guitar. Four nights of jam sessions and called dances allow students to hone their skills, encouraging participation and preservation within the traditional arts heritage of the Great Lakes region.

Mandolin and other melody players are welcome and may attend fiddle classes.
