Flier: You may print and share the 2013 Flier with your dance community, or use it to register for the dance weekend if you prefer paper to electronic means.

Schedule: There will be dance workshops featuring Contra, more Contra and perhaps some other dancing. Also several music workshops led by members of the bands. There are also plenty of opportunities for some open walzing, jamming, socializing and whatever you want.

Facilities: Contra dance sessions take place in Gatton Hall at the First United Congregational Church, 4515 SW West Hills Road in Corvallis. (This is the same site as last year's event.) This hall has a nice wood floor, recently refinished, so it is important to wear very clean, soft-soled shoes for dancing. There will be open waltzing at at the Benton County Fair grounds Carriage House on Sunday morning.

NOTE: This is a fragrance-free event. Please do not use cologne, perfume; or scented deodorants, soaps or other grooming products. We will provide scent-free hand soap at the dance venues.

Register after Nov. 1, 2012 by completing the online application form or by printing, filling out and mailing the paper flier.

Whether you register online or by sending the form, you must also send full payment: $65.00 for all dancers. We do offer a limited number of work/dance scholarships for those who might not otherwise be able to come. You may request a scholarship using the online form, or by mentioning it on the paper form. You may request any amount up to $15.00.

If the dance has filled by December 6th, we will hold a lottery to determine the roster. We will admit dancers so as to "gender-balance" the camp within a small percentage. An email telling your status will be sent by December 21st 2011. If you do not hear from us by December 28th, please double check your spam folder, then check with us at or .

We will assume you have your notification unless we hear otherwise from you!

Late Applicants: You will be added to the waiting list. Your checks will be held until you are accepted. If you need a quick response, please mention it in the comments section of the application form.

Cancellation: We will refund admission less $10.00 if cancelled before February 5th. After that date, the full fee may be retained: We will attempt to fill vacancies from our waiting list and issue refunds at our discretion. Please do not find your own replacement. Please do not bring illness to share with other dancers. Let us know if that is the reason for your cancellation.

Housing: This year we are asking you to arrange your own housing. Contact information to facilitate home-stay arrangements is available here (you must be registered at CorvallisFolklore.org and be signed up for the weekend to see details). For a comprehensive listing of Corvallis hotels, motels and campgrounds, visit The Corvallis visitors' bureau lodging website.

Meals: There will be potluck lunches hosted by local dancers: A great opportunity for conversation that lasts longer than a swing. We also provide a guide to Corvallis restaurants at the sign-in table.

Snacks: Each evening, there will be a mid-evening break with potluck snacks. Everyone at the camp is welcome whether you bring food or not. We have found that people want non-sweet as well as sweet things to help sustain their stamina throughout the evening. There will be no plates or utensils, so please bring only finger food to share.
