Some of you know that I volunteer at Camp del Corazon every summer on Catalina island as a counselor. I started a music program there - basically any kid (or counselor, nurse, doctor etc...) who wants to learn ukulele gets to.
We now have TWENTY ukes for camp thanks to Mim and Ohana! I got tired of having them all in boxes and having to pull them out and box them back up several times a day while on the island so I got some PVC pipe, paint, netting and built a wall. I'm pretty happy with it. The paracord loops stay on the headstock and the kids will just clip the ukes in and out of the carabiners.
Also, notice the sopranos. I was concerned that the younger campers might gravitate towards our new colorful concert ukes (which I'm hoping the teenagers will play) so I had one of my teen campers who is a really great artist design stickers to make the sopranos super kid friendly... Don't worry, the uke still sounds fine with a sticker on the soundboard ;-)
I leave for camp August 29th. Super excited.
