Alas, the new dining hall isn't quite ready yet. (Next year, though!)

There will be jaming spaces in the retreat center lounge, the retreat center commons, the dining room, the nature center. If the weather holds and it's warm like it's been so far, there will be lots of outdoor spaces, and in 2008, we're movingback into October! I'm not sure about the other cabins late at night--we need to see how many people need quiet.

Actually at Ramblewood, there was hidden jamming--you wouldn't have known about the jam in cabin 15-16-17-18 (or whatever the number was--what was sometimes called "Mudcatville") unless you stumbled across it or someone told you about it. After a few years, people came to expect jamming there, and it was easier to find. At Camp Letts, you always had to run back and forth from the Boathouse to the Dining Room to Letts Lodge to the other places where music was happening.

When jams congeal spontaneously, you can't announce in advance where they will happen. Only experience will allow you to guess where they MIGHT be occurring.
