A1 Circle left 3/4 and pass through to new neighbors	
  (New) neighbor do-si-do	

A2 Neighbor balance and swing	

B1 Long lines forward and back	
   Women allemande right 1-1/2	

B2 Partner gypsy and swing	


Comments:  Smooth.  Dancers can "get in the zone" with this one.

While looking for a Becket dance that ends with a partner gypsy-and-swing to
close out a contra medley at Head For The Hills (AND be able to transition to
it from an improper formation dance), I was unable to find one that was
straightforward enough to call with no walkthrough.  I wrote this dance to fit
the bill, and named it after the camp where HFTH is held every year in
November.

For medley transitions from an improper dance: have the dancers circle left one
full time in A1 and do NOT pass through to new neighbors the first time
through.

The A1 and A2 are identical to Orace Johnson's Midwest Folklore, something I
realized after having written this one.  (Note, this link to Midwest Folklore
has a different way to progress than the circle-3/4-and-pass-through that I am
used to.)
