THE CLAWHAMMER BANJO CAMP
AT NESS CREEK
Hello
We are sad to say that due to the current situation with Covid-19 we are going to postpone BanjoNess. We are still planning on hosting two weekends, a beginner weekend and an advanced weekend for sometime in September.
Stay safe

ABOUT THE SITE
All classes will be held in the cozy Ness Creek Studio, surrounded by gorgeous Boreal forest, 2 and a half hours north of Saskatoon.
It is a 15-20 min walk from the main site, over the creek and through the forest to the studio. Be prepared for the walk. If assistance is needed let us know as we can arrange a ride over. Please pack snacks and a paper bag lunch over to the site with you so you will not have to go back to the main site in between classes. Please also pack a head lamp or flashlight for getting back to the main site after the evening concert. There is an outhouse at the studio with hand sanitizer.
On site camping and cabins available. To book a cabin or learn more about the site and their Covid-19 policies, please visit The Ness Creek website

Daniel was born in New York in 1965 and has lived in Winnipeg since 1968. At eleven years of age he bought a banjo with money saved up from his paper route. A year later he made his professional debut at the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
