This ALL-VOLUNTEER event is a 3-day/3-night weekend for callers, dancers, and traditional musicians to enjoy one another's talents and company in a camp setting. The focus is contra dance and related music. Everyone has the opportunity to help provide the entertainment for this event, which begins THURSDAY evening and ends SUNDAY around noon (after brunch and dancing).
NOTE: Instead of a sit down meal the first night (Thursday), we will offer a sandwich bar, with chips & dips, etc., for all campers. Please consider bringing a side dish for this light meal.

Musicians can jam, play for dancing, and lead workshops in tunes or techniques.

Callers and others can lead a dance session (contra, square, English Country, folk, couples dance, etc.) a song session, other activities, or just dance.

Not a musician or caller, but have another talent you just want to share? You can suggest it on your registration form (preferred) or sign up for it when you get to camp. Such workshop examples from the past include singing, juggling, body percussion and water color, to name a few.

The content of the schedule is largely dependent upon the skills of and suggestions made by those attending, via the registration form. YOU help fill in the schedule with dance, music, or other workshops.

All Camp Band: All players are welcome. The All Camp Band will play for (at least) one 90 minute contra dance segment.

The Camp: Cross Point Methodist Camp lies on the North Shore of Lake Texoma, about two hours from Dallas or Oklahoma City. It features a lovely dance hall that doubles as dining hall, with a beautiful (and soft) wood floor, lots of large windows, and great atmosphere. The official address is 7310 Rock Creek Rd, Kingston, OK, 73439.

LODGING is in 2-sided heated bunkhouse cabins, with bathroom in the middle, separating both sides. The newer cabins have nicer bathrooms, large meeting rooms, refrigerator, sink, and microwave. Tent and limited RV space is also available. There are also several motels near by if you'd prefer them. See the list below.

MEALS: All meals are prepared by the camp staff and are included in the 'with meals' registration. The lunch and supper salad bar and snack table have accommodated vegetarians in the past. If you think that the food provided by the camp will not work for you, then you can choose the 'no meals' registration option. Your name badge will reflect that choice. You are welcome to use the refrigerators and microwave ovens located in Madill, Healey, and Wilburn cabins. BEYOND THIS, WE CAN MAKE NO OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL DIETS. PLEASE DO NOT ASK THE KITCHEN STAFF FOR OPTIONS NOT LISTED ON THE MENU.

SNACK TABLE: Please bring your favorite snacks to share, but no chips, please. Most dancers prefer healthy or home-made snacks. If your snacks (like cheeses or dips) need to be kept cool, please bring a small cooler where they can be stored until put on the table, or store them in a refrigerator available in some of the cabins. We need some volunteers to help replenish the snack table throughout the weekend.

Pricing and registration will be available later...
