"
The highlight for me was, once again, the spirit of the camp, which I
have always found to be: 'We will provide you with the highest
quality of instructors available and support you to learn and do your
best- and whatever that is, we are proud of what you have done.'
This is the reason I return every year- that and the absolutely
incredible people involved. I cannot begin to tell you how much this
camp has done for me!

There truly is the power to change lives, and therefore the world, in
gatherings like this. The vision to see beyond the solo performance
to the community unity is the sacred spirit which can heal souls and
cultures.

I learned so many things that were just right for my process in
drumming... being introduced to African dancing, krin, and meeting
and sharing with over 100 like-minded peaceful, loving people. What
a slice of paradise! Wildacres completely frees the soul. The
lodging is ideal, the food was spectacular- fresh, healthy,
plentiful. Breaking bread with others 3 times a day was always a
special treat."

"
Not only do you experience drumming, sabar, balafon, krin, dance and
singing, but the teachers and staff put it all together to understand
the meaning of each and how each segment interacts. [The teachers]
always had time for you. Seldom in my experience does a master have
the time to just sit by you and explain what he thinks you need to
work on.”
