<P>BACDS Family Camp is a week-long residential music and dance camp for
the whole family. Located in a beautiful mountain setting, Family Week
is ideal for families, couples, grandparents, and anyone who likes to
experience the vibrance of community with children.
<P>The Family Camp
program is designed for all ages, providing a balance of family time
with age-group class time, as well as times we gather together as a
community. There are three class periods a day, and two Family Gathering
periods when the whole community comes together for dancing, singing,
storytelling, humor, and entertainment.
<P>
There are delicious gourmet
meals and refreshments, evening dances for adults and teens, and free
time for swimming, canoeing, and the relaxation needed to develop the
camaraderie of community.
