ARAMC is delighted to announce Joe Craven as Artistic Director for ARAMC 2008. An ARAMC instructor and Camp Cheerleader for years one and two, multi-instrumentalist, Joe Craven, combines his love of traditional American folk, blues, jazz, country music, and his equal passion for world music's unique melodies and rhythms, along with his mission that anything can be a musical instrument if you just look at it right. Craven successfully creates a musically challenging yet thoroughly delightful music camp curriculum for the entire family. www.joecraven.com

One of the exciting things we'd like to announce is our move across the river to the American River Resort. The resort offers us more facilities; flexibility in meal catering options; and most of all, a more financially sensible scenario that will enable the camp to go to the next level in the years to come. Another great feature is the large event center that will be a great location for jamming and student and instructor concerts. Our thanks go out to Coloma Resort for two wonderful years of ARAMC memories! www.americanriverresort.com
