Shakuhachi Summer Camp amongst pristine nature on a private island in Finland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The summer camp of our shakuhachi society will be held on August 14.-16. in Kangasala, Finland. This time we have reserved a private island, Saukonkari (location in Google Maps<\/a>) The location can be reached by either car by parking it by the shore at the address K\u00e4kim\u00e4entie 22, 36200 Kangasala, Finland<\/strong>, from where someone will fetch you with a rowing boat, or by train via Orivesi station (more guidance by email or direct messaging after you register), from where someone will fetch you by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The location is within viewing distance from the Vahderp\u00e4\u00e4 Camp Center, which is by the shore facing the island - the location where we have hosted our previous four summer camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The private island we have reserved is completely at our disposal between August 14.-16. There are three summer cottages on the island, containing a total of seven bedrooms, with three double and seven single beds. Additionally it is possible to camp on a tent on the island, there is convenient room for multiple tents. We expect there to be around 7-10 participants in the camp, meaning that the beds should suffice for all participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island does not have running water, but it has two separate outhouse toilets and we will be bringing lots of drinking water to the site. There is a traditional sauna, and a spot on the shore cleared of aquatic vegetation to make room for swimming. There are a few rowing boats in our use. In case you are unable to swim and wary of being on a rowing boat, the area that has to be traversed by boat to get to the island is shallow enough to walk across, so there is no danger whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we will not organize a separate concert along with the camp. The camp is not organized with a strict schedule including times, but we have prepared for the following activities, the content of which can be changed and modified depending on the interests and wishes of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
