We have received a grant to support our Camp's work and are using the grant to lower the low end of our sliding scale by a whopping 25% the middle price is 15% less than last year, the high end is about the same to help us balance and to join in the generosity. Tell any friends who think a camp like this is beyond their means! This is the year! Now more than ever we want to build a loving joyful community away from daily struggles for 6 days of healing and spirit.
We are offering a sliding scale so the financially secure among us can support our efforts to make it possible for dancers on a tight budget to attend. Pay what you can and know if you need to hug the bottom of the scale, those at the top end will even it all out! The mid fee aims to make us break even. The fees go to camp costs and very modest teacher and worker stipends. The vast majority of the hard work to make camp happen is volunteered for the love of dance and community!
