Service is available in Polish, English, German and Russian. If you are traveling from Krakow, we recommend that you take a bus, as train service is very slow and infrequent. If you are traveling from Katowice, the train might be a perfect choice.

This is a promotion for rhythm sections so a drummer can invite a bass player or a bass player can invite a drummer. There is no other option!

Are there any age restrictions?

We do not have an age limit for adults. Underage students, older than 13 may participate, but must provide written parental consent and be supervised between and after classes. We are unable to look after our students during lunch breaks and evenings, so a parent or guardian should be nearby. We can consider only a few exceptions for even younger students. In such cases, we would like to discuss this directly with the parents.

Are accommodation and meals included?

All participants must book their own accommodation and secure their own budget for meals. Each participant has slightly different needs and requirements for their accommodation. Therefore, it would be very difficult to create a satisfactory package for everyone. This also applies to meals. Therefore, we give information about different places that can be booked. The camp is held in a nice little town. We all local restaurants where the food is good and everyone can choose what they want. It is the responsibility of the participants to make all arrangements. However, we are always happy to help in any way we can, be it with language, recommendations or anything else.

Can I arrive with my parent or with my friend or partner and have them attend the classes?

We do not say no, especially when it comes to the younger drummers. But we ask the parents or other guests to be quiet and not to disturb.

Are classes taught in English German or in Polish?

All classes are taught in English. Of course Claus speaks German and Szymon is from Poland, so you can expect some extra support if one of these languages is yours. We try to make sure that everyone understands everything that is needed.

How many participants take part in the camp?

This depends mostly on how many educators are present at one time. At maximum capacity, let us assume we have about 30 students. If 2 or more educators are present, 40 students is perfectly fine.
