TAM YAM Summer Camp is SOLD OUT!
The Traditional Arts and Music, TAM YAM Camp will be held at the Holly Springs Center located at 120 Holly Springs School Rd in Pickens, July 10-14th and/or July 17-21. The camp is open to ALL (from ANYWHERE) rising 3rd-9th graders. In the mornings instruction is offered from local musicians in the traditional instrument of their choice (fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and banjo—all levels). Afternoons will be spent doing many of these activities: nature activities, clogging/square dancing, water activities, folk singing, jug band, instrument making, Appalachian cooking, pottery, jewelry-making, dulcimer, and more. Since camp is located at the beautiful Holly Springs Center in Northern Pickens County, there will be excellent access to classes in their School of Mountain Arts. Additionally campers will be offered Classes in Academic Enrichment for one hour each day (CAREs time). These include a blend of STEM activities, local history, and book/writing activities. Check out the pictures below to see how much fun the kids had last year!
