Cory Wong’s Syncopated Summer Camp (August 13–16, 2026) is built around the rhythm section — and that means bass is front and center. Daily breakout sessions are designed specifically for your instrument, split by level so whether you’re still finding your voice or you’ve been gigging for years, you’ll be challenged and inspired.

No competition. No pressure. Just groove, pocket, and time feel — the things that actually matter.

Over four days and nights at the iconic Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, you’ll take multiple bass clinics daily, attend masterclasses, watch exclusive private performances, and jam with fellow campers and instructors after the shows. This is the kind of camp that changes how you play.

Camp Highlights

  • Learn from world-class bassists — exclusive sessions with Joe Dart, Victor Wooten, Ian Allison, and Yohannes Tona, offered at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels
  • Multiple bass clinics daily — morning, afternoon, and evening breakout sessions mean more time on your instrument and more face time with instructors
  • Masterclasses and Q&As — large group sessions with faculty going deep on rhythm, groove, pocket, and time feel
  • Exclusive private performances — intimate concerts from Cory Wong, The Fearless Flyers, Victor Wooten, Dennis Chambers, David Garibaldi, and the full faculty lineup
  • Nightly jam sessions — instructor-led, theme-focused jams so you can put what you learned to use the same day
  • 4 days and nights at the Fairmont San Francisco — one of the city’s most iconic luxury hotels, right in the heart of downtown on Nob Hill
  • All skill levels welcome — dedicated tracks for beginners through advanced players, so you’ll be challenged no matter where you’re starting from
  • Small, supportive environment — no competition, no pressure; designed for learning, connecting, and getting inspired

This event is about more than just technique; it is about hanging out with a community that loves music as much as you do.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
