Welcome to the BCBW Website!
We had an amazing 2 weeks at our 2009 Bluegrass Workshops! Thanks to all the students who attended and all of our seminar leaders who helped make this a year to remember!!
Within the next month or two, we'll settle on next year's workshop dates, and we'll announce our 2010 lineup as soon as it's in place.

Each August we're proud to host the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop in Sorrento, BC. Our home for the camp, Sorrento
Centre, is a conference/holiday retreat operated by the
Anglican Church of Canada, situated in an old orchard on the shores
of Shuswap Lake. Facilities include a covered amphitheatre, private
beach and beautiful trails. The kitchen staff specialize in fine
home style cooking. The site contains two lodges, cabins, and lots
of campsites.
Spend an inspiring, challenging, and joyous week with others who share your passion for bluegrass. The BCBW provides a friendly, noncompetitive environment for everyone from beginners to advanced players. The well-planned program provides ample opportunity for seminars, drop-in workshops, thematic jam sessions and many other spontaneous activities. There are student concerts, band scrambles, concerts, and campground picking sessions, and for the past few years we've also had an old-time dance in the middle of each week. Our enthusiastic and supportive seminar leaders are chosen for their skill and experience and their abilities as performers. Many of the seminar leaders and their bands will be featured at the Sorrento Bluegrass Festival.
