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.
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.
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.
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.
