Program Description
Do you love to sing, dance, jam, or do all of those at the same time? If so, then this session is for you!
Every morning, we have dance classes where both newcomer and experienced dancers will find a lesson for their skill level, followed by an all-camp singing session. After a break for swimming and a delicious lunch, we have an afternoon full of workshops on a wide variety of song repertoire, singing styles, instrumental repertoire, instrument technique, partnered dancing, ritual dance, calling, music history, and more. There is also an hour before dinner where we’ll have a few staff-led jams, but campers are also very welcome to host jams, conversations, and parties too!
After dinner we will enjoy mini-concerts by our brilliant staff followed by a dance featuring contra and English country dancing, plus late-night pub singing, ceilidh dancing, and more. Within each jam-packed day, there is also time built into the schedule for jamming, snoozing, swimming, chatting, or taking some solo time if you need it. Pinewoods offers a beautiful venue for a glorious week of song, dance, learning, connection, revelry, and rejuvenation. I look forward to singing and dancing with you there!

Registration and Fees
Camp fees cover all accommodation, meals from dinner on the arrival day to breakfast on the departure day, and all of the various dance, music, and song events in the program
This year, all of our weeks have sliding scale pricing for adults to help make camp financially accessible to more people. The fee you choose will not affect your chance of getting into camp.
How it works:
- The standard camper fee covers program staff pay and travel costs, facility fees, and all of the other costs associated with running this camp week.
- The higher price options allow you to add an additional amount to your registration fee to help make camp more accessible to more people. Thanks for supporting this community!
- If the standard camper fee doesn’t work for you, no worries! Feel free to choose one of the lower price options.
- If the lower price tiers still leave camp out of reach for you, we encourage you to apply for a scholarship and/or work exchange. See our Scholarships page for more details
| Standard Fee (2026) | |||||
