This Living Tradition
Once is a novelty, twice is a coincidence, third time is a tradition! It’s our third year of the Family Week community making Agassiz feel like home away from home, and we’re inviting you to come dance, sing, and play in the woods of Maine. 
Kids and adults take separate classes in the morning, focusing on age-appropriate skill development and bonding with peers. Afternoons are all-comers sessions, where we build community and intergenerational connection. And all-camp gatherings are a chance for campers and staff to perform music, tell jokes and stories, and highlight what they’ve learned and built during camp.  
In addition to music, ECD, morris, singing, contra, bal folk, longsword, waltz, stories, mummers’ play, and crafts, you’ll also have a chance to swim, hike, nap, jam, socialize, and after-party. We dance together as a community, then sing sequential waves of children off to bed, giving adults a chance to dance while monitors keep track of the dreamers.  
Come recharge, reconnect, relax, and renew as we gather together to share joy and reinvigorate traditions and invent new ones. We’d love to see you there!"""
