Registration is now open. They need to know well in advance if they will have enough people to have the camp.
Some of you have seen this announcement in your email, but for those of you we missed, or would like to pass it on --
REGISTER NOW FOR GETAWAY 2023!! (click)
That’s right, registration is now open for this year’s in-person Getaway, back at the beautiful West River Methodist Conference Center, on an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. We do hope that you are able to join us.
The Getaway is an amazing weekend-long party of folks who love to sing, play and listen to folk music. We come together in a lovely riverside retreat to join together in making music, sharing what we bring and learning from friends old and new. There will be workshops, sing-arounds, sign-up concerts, music and conversations at all hours. Participation is encouraged at any level comfortable to you in a supportive and welcoming environment. Old and new songs and tunes, recitations and stories, along with information on historical contexts and insights, have filled the Getaway, along with conversation and laughter, for over half a century; come be a part of the fun!
Although the Getaway will not occur until the weekend of September 29 - October 1, 2023, it is important that you register soon. You do not need to pay immediately, but we expect you to view registration as a commitment. We need to know that enough folks have made this commitment to come by June 30 or we will be forced to cancel. There is more information on the registration page, which you can find by going to fsgw.org/getaway scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking on Register.
Please fill out the entire form. We pay close attention to what you write; we use this information to plan workshops and assign rooms.
If you have visited our registration page earlier, please note that our covid protocols have been updated.
We look forward to to seeing you on the banks of the West River!
On Behalf of the Getaway Committee,
Carly Gewirz & Dean Clamons, Getaway Co-Chairs
