More About Gull Lake Centre
Gull Lake Centre is a small, cozy facility with the perfect layout for finding the right jam. Slide into your slippers, grab your instrument, and head down the hall, your gonna find a jam. Finish that jam, walk up some stairs and there it is, another jam, then another hallway leading to another jam. It just goes on and on like that all weekend. Doesn’t that sound like a great weekend!
The building has undergone an upgrade, new beds, carpet and the likes.
A choice of dorm accommodation (4 to a room) or semi-private (2 to a room). Shared bathrooms with showers. Private rooms are not offered.
The nice thing about the building is the quaint jamming spaces. There are 5 lounge areas within the building to host a jam.
We also have access to a simple kitchen where you can put your snacks and keep your beverages cold.
The Northern Bluegrass Circle sponsors the March Jam Camp and welcomes all musicians with a passion for sharing and learning. There will be opportunities to play bluegrass, country, folk, swing and old time.
