Sing ◆ Dance ◆ Play Connect ◆ Learn ◆ Enjoy
e believe in the joy and strength that dance, music and song bring W to people, and we see our summer camp programs as a place for skill building, learning and sharing, and having fun. The feeling of community and laughter and learning, so evident at a camp week, whether it's Pinewoods, Ogontz or Timber Ridge, and whether your passion is contras and squares, English country dance, singing songs up into the sky, making the room rock with your music, or hanging with friends—that feeling will go home with you. The skills learned and connections made at camp can last a lifetime and enrich lives. Adults love it, kids thrive on it. This we know.
f you've been to our camps before, you know what we're talking about. If I this will be your first year, you'll go home thinking, "They were right!" Join us this summer. Connect with others who love what you love. Learn from them. And take that enjoyment with you to share.
