Song. Dance. Laughter. \nJoin us among the pines for a week full of magic and joy, music and dance, for young, old, and everyone in between. Family Week at Pinewoods is a rejuvenating and inspiring way to spend time with your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, or other children dear to you. Together, we participate in the rich traditional music, dance, and song program offered by our skilled staff. \nMorning classes are enjoyed by age groupings, with younger participants delighting in traditional song, dance, stories, and crafts, facilitated by expert children’s educators. Meanwhile, teens and adults choose from an array of energizing community dance classes. Teens are welcome to join in adult activities throughout the day but also have a daily class of their own that will weave together music and dance with dynamic instructors. \nEach day there are two all-community gatherings (morning and evening) where staff and campers alike share stories, songs, and talents. There is also time in the afternoon for campers to offer one-off classes, so bring your talents to share! \nNestled between two pristine New England ponds offering daily idyllic swimming and canoeing, both natural beauty and community spirit are ever-present. Together, we celebrate the charm of living in woodland cabins, eating delicious home-cooked meals, and participating in the rich traditional music, dance, and song program offered by our skilled staff.","links":["https://camp.cdss.org/camp-weeks/family-week-at-pinewoods/","https://cdss.org/event/family-week-at-pinewoods-camp/"],"start":"2025-07-12T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-07-19T10:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$75-$1500","organisation":"Country Dance & Song Society","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Ashokan Northern Week","links":["https://ashokancenter.org/product/northern-week-2025/"],"start":"2025-07-13T13:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-07-19T14:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"NY","city":"Olivebridge","styles":["contra","scandi"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"bands":["Lighthouse"],"callers":["Will Mentor","Susan Kevra","John Krumm"],"price":"$585-$1035","organisation":"TryContra","source":"events/usa/trycontra.yaml"},{"name":"Vertanzt Festival - \"Fusion\"-Edition","details":"Festival zum Mittanzen - Festival pour danser","links":["https://www.vertanzt.ch/","https://www.facebook.com/Vertanzt"],"start":"2025-07-17T09:00:00+02:00","end":"2025-07-20T23:59:00+02:00","country":"Switzerland","state":"Bern","city":"Röthenbach im Emmental","styles":["balfolk"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"205-250 CHF","organisation":"Verein Vertanzt","source":"events/switzerland/rthenbach_im_emmental.yaml"},{"name":"American Dance & Music Week at Pinewoods","details":"Does an incomparable week in the woods full of transcendent contras, delightful squares, and swingin’ songs sound appealing to you? \nIf so, then American Week will be a week full of what you love plus the joy of discovering some new things, too.

If you love to sing, dance, jam, or do all of those at the same time, this is the week for you! Though there will also be plenty of opportunities to do them just one at a time as well. \nEach day’s schedule includes an all-camp singing session, an all-camp dance session (where both newcomer and experienced dancers will find a lesson for their skill level), and many types of singing, dancing, and instrumental workshops, including some that invite collaboration between and among dancers, musicians, and singers. \nEvery evening, we will enjoy mini-concerts by our brilliant staff, followed by a dance featuring contra and English country dancing, plus some late-night festivities. Within each jam-packed day, there is also time built into the schedule for jamming, snoozing, swimming, chatting, or taking some solo time if you need it. Pinewoods offers a beautiful venue for a glorious week of song, dance, learning, connection, revelry, and rejuvenation.

Campers’ Week is a week like no other—not just for campers, but by campers, who join a small-but-mighty staff in offering classes, leading dances, playing in the band, performing at gatherings, teaching crafts, decorating for the ball, hosting parties, and sharing whatever talent they’d like. If you love helping to make the magic happen, and you’re between the ages of 0 and 187, this is the session for you! Bring your parents, your best friend, your neighbor, your siblings, your kids, your cousins, your spouse, your fiancé, your grandkids, or just yourself (if you’re over 18) for a week of multi-generational, camper-enhanced family fun. \nWhat do we love? At morning and evening gatherings, people of all ages share a tune, tell a story, showcase a skill, sing, laugh, and dance together. During the day, kids under 13 gather twice with their peers—who may well become lifelong friends—to learn new dances, sing, craft, or what have you. Teens have their own class session (don’t worry, it’s not first thing in the morning) and all campers age 13+ can join in daily staff-led contra and English dance classes. There’s also ritual dance instruction, a community band, callers’ workshop, plus whatever delights campers offer. When it’s time to give those dancing feet a rest, you can swim, sun, or canoe in a pond, or find a chair on one of the many porches to craft, sing, jam, or just relax and chat with friends new and old.  \nFestivities continue after dinner with a musical procession through the woods to the all-ages dance, which kicks off evening gathering. After the youngest campers head to bed, talented staff lead a vibrant mix of English, contras, squares, and a few surprises, with the help of the camper band—a delightful mélange of professional musicians, talented dabblers, and enthusiastic neophytes—and guest callers. (Want to call a dance? Let us know.) \nAfterwards, the party moves to the Camp House, where a pub sing, auction, skit night, jams, or impromptu low-key gatherings continue into the night… including whatever merriment intrepid campers incite. (Will Kerry sets return this year? Late night English favorites? Nonstop Rory O’More?  If you want it, make it happen!) \nWhether you grew up here and never left, or are joining for the very first time, Campers’ Week welcomes all ages, all skill levels, all talents, all everything. So pack your instrument (even your ukulele!), your voice, your dance shoes, your ball costume, your crafting supplies, your joy, and your sense of adventure. We hope to see you there.","links":["https://camp.cdss.org/camp-weeks/campers-week-at-pinewoods/","https://cdss.org/event/campers-week-at-pinewoods-camp/"],"start":"2025-08-16T15:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-08-23T10:00:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"MA","city":"Plymouth","styles":["contra","ecd"],"workshop":true,"social":true,"price":"$750-$1400","organisation":"Country
