Countdown to AmWeek: more info and news. This email and other messages are all collected on the AmWeek web site http://AmWeek.org/ under the "Registered Camper Info" button. * Please read the information on our web site at http://AmWeek.org/Campers You'll find emergency contact info, a list of suggested Things to Bring, climate description, a list of dance events before and after camp, and a list of deadlines (some already past). * Sliding Scale campers: plan to be at camp by 1:00pm on Sunday June 30 to help with camp setup as part of your work-trade. * All campers need to sign up for at least one chore at checkin. Sliding Scale campers also need to help with camp setup and takedown. * Camp closes with the Friday night dance in Palo Alto. * See the updated Schedule Grid at http://AmWeek.org/AmWeekGrid.pdf (this will be updated as camp approaches) * Climate: we had a brief hot spell last week, but temps are back to normal now. Expect daytime temperatures to range from 50s in the morning to highs in the mid to upper 70s, and nighttime low temperature in the low 50s or even upper 40s. There may be suspended water droplets that some people might call drizzle, but here it's just the fog that the redwoods depend on. BRING LAYERS so that you can adjust. Campers who have been to other weekends like Faultline Frolic, May Madness, Folk Madness, etc. will appreciate being able to dance in cool comfort! But don't get chilled when you head out to your cabin after the dance. * Remember to print, sign, & return the waiver form that is required by the YMCA camp for everyone who attends camp. Unless we have that form from you before camp, the Y won't let you come in. So please do it now. You can find the form on our web site here: http://AmWeek.org/CJG_Waiver_Form.pdf Please print the form, fill it out, and mail it to us as soon as possible: BACDS AmWeek Manager 130 East Grand Ave South San Francisco, CA 94080 Or you can scan the signed form and email the scan to: amweek-registrar@bacds.org Or fax it to 650-871-4551 * Thursday is "Sparkle Night" ... * the camp shirt color this year is Dark Green * the Dress Boutique will be at camp to help you find sparkling attire, swirly skirts, flowery shirts, and colorful changes of clothing. Even dancers afflicted with a Y chromosome can find lots of goodies! * don't forget to bring earrings for the traditional Earring Swap * reminder: the YMCA camp is smoke-free and alcohol-free. (also pet-free, alas) Check your registration information at http://AmWeek.org/Campers/ You can make any changes needed there, or call or email me. See you soon! -Eric _______________________________________________ Amweek2013-campers mailing list Amweek2013-campers-at-bacds.org http://www.bacds.org/mailman/listinfo/amweek2013-campers
