This schedule is subject to modification. We like to be very flexible!
Saturday Early arrival (3:00 p.m. check in) is an option for a small additional cost ($60 for one person and $80 with a guest). This is a great day to hang out, enjoy the beach, settle in, meet other participants, get your spot in the workshop room, play tunes etc. At least half of each week arrives on Saturday.

Arrive anytime to settle in but it is best to get here well before dinner time just to settle in your room and find your spot in the main room. 6:00 p.m.: Happy hour and appetizers 6:30 p.m.: Crab/shrimp feast 8:00 p.m.: Brief orientation and introductions; desert 9:00 p.m.: Jam and free time
