There are 2 showers for you to use after your sweat so please be sure to bring your own towel and a change of clothes.
6:00 PM: Doors open for guest arrivals so that everyone can familiarize themselves with the space and so that people can set up their pot luck dish. This is also a great time for the overnight guests to check-in so that they can be shown to their rooms.

8:00 PM: Circle dance led by Gwyn Peterdi, a founder of New England Circle Dance Camp and Mexico Circle Dance Festival.
