THE BUG CAMPOUT IS BACK!
The BUG campout at Silver Lake Campground returned after an almost 10-year absence!
About 60 folks participated in the campout in July 2023. They played their ukuleles and sang, attended workshops, wrote songs, made new friends, did the hula, and enjoyed the food!
Special guests this year included Chontel and Eric Klobus, leaders of STRUM, Seattle’s Totally Relaxed Ukulele Musicians.
Photographer Benjamin Hills was on hand to take some candid shots of the event.
