Break out of the Winter doldrums with "Spring Fever" - a high-energy weekend of hot Contras, exuberant English country dance, and exhilarating music that is sure to bring on that elusive dancer's high.

Our 3-track program is actually 3 complete camps side by side.  You can follow all Contra, all English, our expanded all singing, music and jam sessions, or mix and match as you like.  Go with what you love, or try out something new.  We'll throw in a few surprises, too!
