After Covid-19 cut short the school year in March, but left students with their instruments, The Hammer Band ran an online virtual summer music camp during July and August for approximately 200 youth. Appropriately called “Summer Jam”, the online program provided scheduled classes for students and valuable interaction with their teachers and each other. The Minstrel Foundation’s contribution of $10,000 covered approximately 75% of the cost of the program during July, including cost of teachers, Zoom pro subscriptions and administration.
