Last year’s successful June day camp weekend was wonderful. With the support of the H&R membership following last year’s camp, we were encouraged to use this format again. This year we will be at the Elmira Grange, located 15 miles west of Eugene off highway 126. This is a new grange for us. It has a lovely wood floor with a separate dining room,
all on one level. It also has a limited but improved kitchen.Laura Hatch will teach and call this year. We sadly had to miss her last year due to COVID in the family. We look forward to her presence at camp this year. Kalindi Devi-Dasi, from the Eugene area will teach and call the two Scottish dances at this year’s ball.
Our favorite camp band will return: the Fine Companions, from Portland Oregon. Jon Oorthuys will be our amazing sound engineer.Dance sessions Saturday 1:00 - 10:00 and Sunday 9:30 - 3:00
