Activities: Other Camp Activities

Workshops and Teachers
Local Attractions

The morning activities can include exploring a path through a redwood grove, attending world dance and music classes, or sitting by the lodge's fireplace and reading.

 

 

 

Afternoon choices are party committee activities (decorating and crafting), volunteer (helping to serve a meal, tend bar or set up for dinner), a trip into Mendocino for browsing or shopping, board and card games, hikes, reading, swimming in the creeks, driving to the ocean, or just relaxing.

 

 

The evening activities begin with a cocktail hour and special celebration event in which the campers take part, either as spectators or part of the creative team and actors. This year's themes will include parties honoring the cultures of our three featured dance teachers; Bulgaria, Cuba and Romania. Plus a "Folklore Home Companian" 4th of July Radio Show & "Murder Most Foul" at Linscott Hall!

 

After dinner, there is a 45 minute recorded music dance session. This is where we play camper requests, and teacher material taught during this and past camps. Then at 8:30 p.m. our nightly International dance party begins with LIVE MUSIC being provided by our tremendously talented and versatile camp band. Musicians: Becky Ashenden, Miamon Miller, Bill Cope, Chuck Corman and Paul Brown.

 

Late Night KAFANA

Though a favorite spot for some after the evening dance is the comfort of their own bed in their cozy cabin. For others there is music, singing, schmoozing, games and laughter in the lounge KAFANA. Impromptu concerts, jam sessions, sing-alongs, stories and dancing go on late into the night.
