What it is

Our own little barbershop village

Harmony in the Hills is a gathering of barbershop harmony friends and family. We take over every cabin in the main part of Burr Oak State Park so we can sing late into the evening without bothering the neighbors.

Tags by the fire

Campfire afterglows every night, with tags, quartets, and fellowship that run as late as you like.

Fun for every age

Crafts, pool time, a nature hike, a playground, and a talent show where the kids get their moment too.

Cabins in the woods

Fully furnished cabins with a kitchen, porch, fire ring, and grill. Bring the family, the dog, and your pitch pipe.
