| Staff Schedule Camp Namanu Registration |
Come join us in the Oregon woods for an extra-long weekend full of high-energy contradancing and luxurious English Country Dance, with some of the country's favorite bands and callers:
This year we're increasing the number of great dance workshops on offer; we'll sometimes be running both Contra and English workshops in different buildings at the same time. There will be so much dancing that you won't be able to attend it all in our jam-packed weekend -- you'll have to choose your favorites! In addition to all the great dancing, we'll be offering a wide range of music and singing workshops. Plus, of course, the latest culinary amazements from Annie Johnston. Seattle's Alan Roberts -- musician, dancer, and acoustic connoisseur -- will engineer our weekend's sound. As usual, our Labor Day camp starts with an evening dance on Friday, August 29 and ends in the early afternoon of Monday, September 1. The Sunday evening dance always has a theme - typically a color scheme - to inspire dancers however it may. For 2008 our theme is Red & Black. Mark your calendars now, and keep your eyes open for the camp applications that will appear here, in your mailboxes, and at local dances in early May. Help Wanted! Northwest Passage offers several work-trade positions. In return for a few hours of help with essential camp tasks, work-traders receive a $75 discount off their camp fee and the satisfaction of helping make NWP a great camp. Work-trade tasks are arranged for minimal overlap with scheduled events. Northwest Passage also hires several dishwashers for part-time work over the weekend. Compensation is $100 plus room and board, and dishwashers may participate in camp events when they are not scheduled to work. Older teenagers and college students are especially encouraged to apply. Parents note: if your teenager comes to NWP as a dishwasher, your own application will bypass the camp lottery. |
