SOME QUOTES FROM PAST CAMPERS:

World Camp is such a nice atmosphere - relaxed and welcoming to newcomers-and the music and dancing instruction is rich, colorful, and intense! I love the new music I come back with and the DVD afterwards to remind me of the dances. - Heather
The best dance teachers, the best live music, the best campgrounds - don't miss it. - D.B. This was truly a wonderful camp. I hope you will continue to hold this event. It is definitely one of the high points of my year. Wonderful location -- very warm and helpful staff. Food very good, cabins comfortable, real dance floors! The variety and selection of staff are wonderful. The music is incredible. Thank you! |
For me, one of the highlights of World Camp is teaching and dancing to the amazing music of EDESSA. Their energy and talent is incredible and their vast repertoire covers Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Albania and Bulgaria. Their exciting dance music is contagious and so much fun! - Yves Moreau
