Review for North American Folk Music and Dance Alliance Inc, Saugerties, NY, USA
I have attended three Wintersongs camps and two Summersongs camps and they have all been amazing experiences. The instructors are incredibly talented and generous with their time, and very supportive. I have grown so much as a songwriter, singer, musician but more importantly as a person. I'm basicly a shy person and the thought of singing before a large group of people was terrifying to me. Now, I look forward to performing and I find it a thrilling experience. I have found a wonderful community in Summersongs.
