Sender: amweek2012-campers-bounces-at-bacds.org 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 * 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 weekend, but temps are back to normal now. Expect daytime high temperature to be mid 60s to low 70s, and nighttime low temperature in the low 50s or even upper 40s. There may be suspended fog droplets that some people might call drizzle, but here it's just fog. BRING LAYERS so that you can adjust. Campers who have been to other weekends like Faultline Frolic just past, or May Madness & Folk Madness last month, will appreciate being able to dance in cool comfort! But don't get chilled when you head out to your cabin after the dance. * bedding: we have a very small number (~5) sets of bedding available for rent by campers. The set includes 2 sheets, pillow & pillow case, one blanket or comforter, hand towel, bath towel, and washclot International travelers have first dibs! If you're coming from afar and would like to reduce your load, please contact Sharyn Peterson, our Hospitality Chair, at Rental fee is $25 for the week. Otherwise, please be sure to bring your own bedding. The cabins have mattresses, but nothing else. * Tent camping: several dancers are planning to bring tents and camp in the meadow at the edge of our camp village. Extra privacy and quiet! Please feel free to bring your own camping gear (sorry, RVs aren't allowed by the YWCA). There is a shower house nearby so you don't have to hike very far for bath needs. * Thursday is "Sparkle Night" ... * the camp color this year is Purple * 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 * bring a yoga mat for Laura's morning yoga session * reminder: the YMCA camp is smoke-free and alcohol-free. (also pet-free, alas) * There's still room for more at camp! Tell your friends! See you soon! -Eric _______________________________________________ Amweek2012-campers mailing list Amweek2012-campers-at-bacds.org http://bacds.org/mailman/listinfo/amweek2012-campers
