Big News & Exciting Expansion!
Due to the overwhelming demand from guitar players who want to attend our IGC retreats, and responding to previous attendees’ suggestions, we're thrilled to announce our first Spring Event! This event, in April 2024, will continue to enhance your individual skills and help you grow as a musician. This event will be a totally immersive, multi-day experience, with deep one-on-one instruction. Personal attention will be given to every attendee, leading to group practice and performance for all. Due to the hands-on nature of this unique event, it will be limited to a maximum of 20 people.
In addition to building on your own experience, the principal focus of the weekend will be collaborative engagement, working in pairs or groups, exploring the very real excitement of playing and performing with others.
Songwriter extraordinaire, Dave Nachmanoff, will be lending his expertise to the attendees interested in crafting and enhancing their own compositions. His songwriting and Play Along classes are always a huge draw. With a limited number of participants, working directly with Dave will be easier than ever.
The incomparable Doug Young will bring his amazing fingerstyle guitar technique, as well as his deep expertise in arrangement, and alternate tunings, to share.
As always, expert vocal coaching will be readily available from our Vocal Master, Jim Bruno.
Like at all IGC Events, we will still have several open mic opportunities throughout the day and evenings, with group collaboration & performance being emphasized.
This unique Spring Event is the result of tremendous demand, and we expect to fill up quickly. Over the course of the long weekend (Thursday evening through Sunday morning) you can expect the same great IGC experience that we’ve been delivering for a decade.
The Spring event is appropriate for all levels of guitar player. The support and enthusiasm of every participant, not to mention the depth of the instruction, is all but guaranteed to take your playing to the next level.

Our traditional Fall Camp will return in September 2024. It will be held the entire week of September 9-13 and feature the familiar format our campers have come to enjoy since 2013. With our fantastic staff, including Dave, Doug and Jim, we'll maintain our tradition of nightly Open Mics, morning class sessions, Songwriting, Mini Sets, Meal Sets, and of course, the late-night jam in the Pueblo. The Fall Camp is limited to 35 students. Overall, you can expect more of the same with a few small tweaks, like every year.
Like all IGC events, we expect both events to sell out quickly. If you would like to be notified when we open registration for the Fall, hit the Contact Us link at the top of this page to be put on the list. If you’re interested in our Spring Event at the end of April, please register today!
With two camps scheduled this year, I look forward to meeting some new players and reconnecting with many familiar faces in 2024.
