While our founder was in high school, he worked at a summer camp near Traverse City, MI. At this camp, there was a double-wide trailer the support staff guys lived in named Schwanda. In this trailer, five of the staff would jam together with their various instruments during their free time. These jam sessions built a community to connect with and use their music as a coping skill. The Schwanda jam/art sessions are a chance to recreate that experience for adolescents (ages 13-24) in the Ionia area. $5 entry fee will be used to fund the non-profit section (collective) which provides accessibility to therapy for adolescents and their families who are coping from trauma (abuse, neglect, foster care/adoption, human trafficking) and creative coping skills coaches as an apprenticeship model mentorship initiative. Bring your own instruments or use our own!
