Vinland Music Camp
Alex Hodder Memorial Scholarship for Youth
Soundbone Traditional Arts Foundation has recently established the Alex Hodder Memorial Scholarship for Youth. This scholarship aims to honour the life of Alex Hodder by supporting a young person (aged 13 to 18) who is passionate about traditional music and arts to attend Vinland Music Camp. Alex was a wonderful budding musician who specialized in songwriting with guitar and voice. He loved Vinland Music Camp and his family wishes to honour his memory with one full scholarship to Camp.
The successful candidate will receive a full scholarship to Vinland Music Camp to be held at Lion Max Simms Memorial Camp near Bishop’s Falls from August 17th to 22nd, 2025. This includes tuition, onsite room and board, and instrument rental (if needed).
