FAC Pinewoods Weekend and FolkDays

FAC’s June week at Pinewoods Camp in Plymouth, MA features international folk dance workshops led by guest teachers and evening folk dance parties with music by The Pinewoods Band. The camp’s tranquil hillsides and shaded paths lie between two ponds ideal for swimming, sunning, and canoeing. Dining and dancing are in open-sided pavilions under the trees.

Oktoberfest Weekend

FAC’s Columbus Day weekend at Hulbert Outdoor Center in Fairlee, VT features international folk dance and music workshops led by guest teachers and evening folk dance parties with music by The Pinewoods Band. The camp’s meadows and forested hills beside Lake Morey provide a perfect setting for enjoying fall weather and foliage.

WinterJam Weekend

FAC’s February weekend at Hulbert Outdoor Center in Fairlee, VT features workshops in traditional music for instrumentalists and singers, various camper-led activities, and evening folk dance parties. The timing is right for cross-country skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, and skating nearby.

The week-long School offers fiddle classes for all levels with an international staff of expert teachers.
