Once I get myself to Boulder, what other expenses will I have?

Dear Craig,
You will either need to pay $20 One-Way / $38 Round Trip for transport to and from the airport and the Boulder Inn, or the price of a rental car. Even without your own car to drive, it can be made to work easily because places to eat are within a short walk, and many friendly people are willing to carpool for meals and shopping.

What level of expertise is required to make the most of the beginners camp? I can knock out a few basic tunes.

What is included in the camp?
If accomodation what type?
Any food?

Dear Hilton,
All this information is provided in full upon signup, but here are some of the basics:

The topics covered in the basic camp are listed on the web site. The main things are: you will get to do a lot of jamming, even if you never have before, and you will learn how to put a solo together on your own without tablature. No "level of expertise" is required except the ability to change simple chords quickly with the left hand. You qualify!

The camp is held at a nice motel that's quite affordable, a base rate of $55/night for campers. The rooms are spacious and there are many amenities. No food is provided at the camp, but there are many places to eat and a big grocery store within a short distance, and you can rent a microwave and a small refrigerator for your room at $2/night each.

I'm glad you're thinking of making this trip. Colorado has a lot of "winter wonderland", including nice skiing (all levels) less than an hour from Boulder. Also, Boulder a busy college town in terms of arts and interesting indoor pursuits. Denver is less than an hour away.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Pete Wernick
