Wendi Lopatecki
Wendi began singing and playing the guitar as a teenager and spent most of her time jamming on camping trips with her group of musical and creative friends. Jam Camp feels much like those distant days. Music continued into family life when her husband Colin picked up the banjo at the time of the birth of their first daughter. Jam Camp quickly became an annual part of the growing family, embracing the joy and creativity of connecting and communicating across cultures and language. Wendi spends most of her time gardening and weaving on the Gulf Islands, maintaining a musical presence with her family at various events around the island throughout the years. Wendi is excited to share her experiences of song, guitar and mandolin with the extended Jam Camp family of which she has continued to be involved with since those early days 15 years ago, and is currently co-managing Jam Camp On the Island with her husband Colin (they also managed Jam Camp by the Sea for 5 years). Wendi sings and plays mandolin with her band PONDSIDE who have recently released their first album PaperThin!
