During the year, Songmakers enjoy weekend campouts, retreats and other special events that provide extended opportunities to share music and socialize in beautiful natural settings. Some are official Songmaker events and others we just participate in. Examples are Songmakers Corner at the Annual Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest, Kenney Grove Campouts in Fillmore, annual summer club picnics, annual “Roundup” membership meeting and concert showcase, etc. Events will be posted below as the dates are determined.
2025
The dates for the 2025 camp outs, and the approximate dates when you can reserve your site. Ventura Co are listed below. Parks says you can reserve 180 days in advance, but I just checked and reservations for KG are currently open through December 21, which is almost a week less than 180 days from today. We tried to space these well, not bump into holidays, and not start when it’s too early and cold!
