EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW . . .

 

THE WEEKEND: Once again this year Princeton Country Dancers will be dancing and making music at Camp Harlam, near Kresgeville, in the Poconos. Camp Harlam is about a 2-hour drive from Princeton and a 90-minute drive from Philadelphia. The camp features a large dance hall with excellent wood floors and smaller rooms for workshops and jamming. The modern rooms are double or quadruple occupancy with private or semi-private bathrooms. Meals are served family style in a large dining room.

Last year we had over 20 children at Head for the Hills. To make the weekend fun and enriching for our younger friends, we offer music and dance-related activities for youngsters. Young people who can do so are welcome to join adult activities and dances.

 KIDS’ BAND: Louise McClure is the conductor for the Kids’ Band again this year and needs advance notice of who expects to participate (please indicate on your registration form). SILENT AUCTION: Do you have stuff in your closets and on your bookshelves that you no longer need? Or maybe you have a skill for which someone would be willing to pay? Every year we hold a silent auction to support Head for the Hills. Help us continue at Camp Harlam and maintain our low weekend price by contributing to the Silent Auc­tion. This year the auction is being coordinated by Debbi Kanter. For more information, call Debbi at 609-882-7733.
