"Thank you for the most Astonishing week - as one of the other participants said: - This was all that I expected and then some - I couldn't agree more!! I return home with a suitcase full of inspiration, friendship and new ideas, and a Big Nudge to work more on my music & "get it out there", in "whatever way". You really did a fantastic job of coordinating everything, and I know you had help from many others, so a big "hats off" to you All!!!"

"The pleasure was all mine. Just back home to Colorado last night. Our last lunch together was a great way to cap off an excellent week, among other things, boosted motivation to keep writing songs.

"Song Camp Europe is the most fantastic place to write songs! Writing songs in the sunshine under olive trees, drinking wine and having the best time with all the rock stars! I'm so blessed to be here! The views from San Felice are amazing, and the staff and the hotel is really lovely. Even my intolerance for gluten and lactose were cared for really well at all the meals! I am almost crying. The beautiful people at Song Camp were so supportive and caring. I am really stoked to be part of this event and looking forward to coming back next year!" "
