About the camp
Capital City Guitar Camp is a wonderful week-long day camp for students interested in learning and expanding on all of the many fun and exciting facets of classical guitar! Every Summer we hold camp at Community Church in Round Rock, with games, activities, music, wonderful guest teachers and musicians!
We offer classes for all talent levels: Absolute beginners who have never even touched a guitar before can sign up with our beginner package that includes a brand new guitar and gig bag at a great discount (see price list below). Intermediate and advanced guitarists get the opportunity to expand their musical skills with performance classes, improvisation and composition classes, and recording classes in which the students will record themselves performing in a studio setting! Finally, every student will take part in our student concert at the end of the week, free to all friends and family.
Once again this year we will have 30 minute special concerts by guest musicians at the end of every day of camp for students and families to attend for free!

I would definitely recommend this camp to a guitarist at any level." - Kavitha
