6. Those with Difficulty Walking:
The dorm rooms are in Ottawa Hall, which is just across the street from Rocket Hall where all the workshops and strums will be located. The concerts will be held in Recital Hall, which is about a ten-minute walk from Ottawa. We will have a golf cart or other form of transportation available for those who need it and you will be able to park in from of Recital Hall.
7. Be Prepared for the Climate
Toledo in mid-July has an average temperature of 66 – 86° F with around six days of summer showers. Be prepared to have layers of clothing, in case the weather changes or the climate control in the buildings are a bit too cold or warm for your comfort. An umbrella is always handy as well.
8. Other Music Related Items to Bring To Camp
We strongly recommend that you bring the following items with you to camp:
– an electronic tuner
– a light-weight collapsable music stand
– capo (especially if you play baritone ukulele)

10. Meals
Meal Plans
A meal plan (Friday dinner; Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; and Sunday breakfast and lunch) is included for all campers staying in the dorms on campus and commuters.
Special Diets
The University of Toledo is well-equipped to handle a variety of dietary needs. It is very important to let us know about your dietary restrictions or concerns in advance on the registration form so the chefs can prepare.
Dining off campus
There are a variety of establishments just a block away from Rocket Hall including fast food, sit-down restaurant/bar, coffee shop, and party store. Many other eating establishments are within 10 -15 minutes driving from campus.
11. Audio and Video Taping in Class
We feel that having the opportunity to tape at least portions of your classes is a valuable learning tool, but as a courtesy YOU MUST REQUEST PERMISSION FROM YOUR INSTRUCTORS.
12. Taping at the Faculty Concert
MUC has an official “videographer” who tapes the concerts in their entirety, and most performances at any given Camp generally appear on our YouTube and Facebook sites by around the end of July. Students may also record the concert on personal recording devices provided that their set-ups are relatively simple and do not interfere with other audience members’ ability to enjoy the proceedings. We do ask that no audio or video recordings made of artists at MUC be posted on the internet without their permission. Those who come up with good photos or footage are urged to send us copies for possible use on the web site (we too will get permission from the artists involved, of course).
13. Vendor Room: Artist merchandise (CDs, videos, instruction materials and more) will be set up in the Presidents Hall upper lobby near the Registration/Info Area. Bring some extra money and support your teaching artists.
14. COVID Policy: MUC strongly recommends that all participants get vaccinated against COVID-19, including with the most recent booster. MUC 2025 will follow any CDC guidelines that are present at the time of camp. Midwest Uke and Harmonica Camp will adhere to all protocols regarding masking laid out by the University of Toledo and the State of Ohio. At this time there are no masking requirements, but be mindful and considerate of those who are more comfortable masked.
