The Company of Fifers & Drummers Junior Fife & Drum Camp
Green Team!
We raise money for the Company of Fifers and Drummers Junior Fife & Drum Camp and help to make musters more earth friendly. We lead recycling efforts at musters, events, and at our homes! The money we raise from redeeming cans and bottles pays for scholarships to send kids to fife and drum camp. We need your help!

Junior Fife and Drum Camp
Junior Fife and Drum Camp is offered each year for kids, ages 9-18, to ensure that the tradition of fifing and drumming is passed down to the next generation and that the quality and scope of fifing and drumming continues to improve, expand, and prosper. This is accomplished through the use of instructional workshops which provide junior corps members with the tools needed to increase their knowledge in various aspects of fifing and drumming. All workshops are conducted in a friendly, open, and professional manner to provide a positive experience for all. For more information about camp, visit us at www.jrfife-drumcamp.org.
A note about costs: Camp is completely volunteer run! We have many generous adult volunteers who take a week of vacation to teach or to chaperone. There are also many who work throughout the year to organize and prepare for camp. And, still others who spend the year finding us donations in kind for things like snacks and supplies. This dramatically reduces the overall cost of camp. What we do have to pay for with real money is room and board for campers, chaperones, and instructors - divided out per camper, the cost of our 4 day (overnight) camp is only $325.
