Youth Dance Weekend

traditional music and dance gathering

September 12-14, 2008

Registration

The early registration period has passed. Late registration pricing is available until August 1st. You can register online or by mail.

Housing

Housing will be in rustic three-walled cabins or in tents (BYOT). See the venue page for more info. Tent space and cabins are the same price. Space will be assigned when you arrive. We'll also have housing options in single-gender cabins or in quiet areas.

Food

Skilled YDW kitchen staff will prepare fantastic food for those who wish to sign up for shared meals. The menu will emphasize local ingredients and include vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous choices.

Pricing

We've done everything we can to keep down the cost of YDW. Our pricing structure is designed to make the weekend financially accessible, especially to young people. If you can afford to pay more, you are welcome to do so; it'll all go towards making YDW cheaper and even better next year. We won't be checking ID, but please be honest about your age. Each camper will be expected to pitch in with one hour of work during the weekend.

The fine print

In order to plan for food and cabin space, all registration forms must be postmarked by 7/31/08. We cannot accept late or walk-up registrations. If you cancel your registration before 8/1/08 we will offer a full refund minus $5. Between 8/1 and 9/1/08 we will offer a 50 percent refund. Because of insurance policies, you must be 18 or older to attend. Farm and Wilderness is a strictly cell phone-free, non-smoking, alcohol and drug-free facility. We reserve the right to ask you to leave if you behave in an unsafe or inappropriate manner. Particpiants must sign liability release forms when they arrive for the weekend.
