Staff
This year, we are happy to have Sarah Gregory Smith leading our American dances and Marcie Van Cleave to lead our English Dances (and maybe even a folk dance workshop?). Those with us last year will be excited to learn that we will again be dancing to the fantastic music of Eric Buddington, Eric Martin, Tony Pisano, Susan Janssen, Joyce Crouch, Vincent O'Donnell and Patrick Yacono. Justin Morrison from the Toronto Morris Men will run an intensive two day Morris workshop.

In addition, Anne Goodwin and Janet Scudder are planning exciting activities for children of all ages.

Schedule

Camp opens at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday; the session ends with breakfast on Tuesday morning. No visitors or part-time campers are permitted.

Daytime Workshops

Structured workshops in English, American and Morris dancing will be run by our staff. Children's workshops are scheduled for part of the day so that parents can dance while children are involved in their own activities. Labor Day Weekend also features Camper-led workshops scheduled throughout the day. Storytelling, music and song sessions, nature walks, and games, are just a few examples of past camper-led activities. There are life guarded swims scheduled each day, dances each evening, and the traditional Monday Mad Hatter Tea Party. Of course, there's also time for canoeing, jamming, volley ball, cards, napping, reading, and just plain hanging out with friends.

Evening Dances

Our talented staff will lead a mix of English and American dances. Prior dance experience is not necessary. Bring clean shoes that you use only for dancing to keep the dance floors in good shape. Sunday night is the famous theme dance. This year's theme is "Illustrated Classics" Dress as your favorite literary character.
