Join us October 24th - 27th, 2024, Thursday evening through Sunday, at the historic Black Range Lodge in Kingston, NM for Southwest Mandolin Camp sponsored by DNA Music Camps. We welcome players of all levels from beginner to pro for a fun-filled learning experience to expand your mandolin horizons. 

Camp begins with happy hour and dinner at the Lodge at 5pm on Thursday, Oct. 24th and ends after lunch on Sunday, the 27th. The Lodge and camp staff are dedicated to making this a safe and healthy environment. See below for an introduction to our 2023 faculty and class descriptions from last year. Whether you'd like to improve your bluegrass, swing or jazz chops, or explore Irish music, we have classes for you.
