**Check Out The MBC 2024 Program Schedule**
Midwest Banjo Camp 2024 will take place June 6-9, 2024 at Manchester University in North Manchester, Indiana. At MBC, you can study old-time or bluegrass banjo with some of today's best players and teachers in both styles; we also offer full programs in tenor banjo, fiddle, guitar and mandolin. Our program features hands-on classes, demonstrations, two faculty concerts, and still leaves lots of time for jamming with your fellow banjo enthusiasts.
Midwest Banjo Camp offers the following instruction options
- Four levels of old-time banjo
- Four levels of bluegrass banjo
- Full time program in 4-string banjo (tenor and plectrum)
- Full time programs in fiddle, guitar, and mandolin
Format: MBC runs from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon and offers nine class sessions -- four on Friday, three on Saturday and two on Sunday (with about 17 different classes per session and nine sessions, this means you'll have around 150 options to choose from over the course of Camp). There are staff concerts on both Friday and Saturday evenings. Half of our staff performs on Friday, and the other half on Saturday; so over the course of the weekend you'll have the opportunity to hear our entire staff in concert!
