First of all, where do you live? There is an excellent camp in Mission, B.C. put on by the Vancouver Folk Song Society later this month...I probably can't make it but wish I could.

There are a number of these camps in the PNW (USA).....they tend to follow a similar pattern...arrive Friday afternoon to set up, or Friday evening after work. There is usually a potluck, sometimes all chocolate dessert and sometimes all tremendously healthy stuff. There is usually a large song circle then, sometimes way way late. Saturday morning would be breakfast, usually uncommonly early it seems to me, either put on by campers who sign up for chores, or some camps have a paid cook (Sunnycamp probably won't). Then there are usually workshops in the morning..maybe 2 sets of them..some are set up in advance and some just arise....lunch..time for walks etc.., then another set of workshops in the evenings. Then there is often a concert followed by a dance. It depends on the size and how many buildings you have. People usually break off into smaller groups it seems on Saturday after the concert/dance. Sunday is breakfast, followed by a workshop or two, cleanup, usually lunch, and then more cleanup and farewells.

We'll pretty much be following that pattern...Food is often pretty good..standard breakfast stuff, soup and sandwiches, or tacos, etc. for lunch. Usually a pretty nice dinner. Sunday lunch tends to be leftovers. Camps with a cook have fewer chores to assign, and most camps will offer free attendance in exchange for cleanup chores.

So I hope you can make it. If you have more time than money, you can make it from Seattle by public transport really cheaply if you can find buses to get to Olympia by 9 or so..then you take the Olympia to Aberdeen bus and from Aberdeen you take Pacific Transit all the way. Going back you would have to leave on Monday though.
Some of the camps might have 80 to 100 people...Rainycamp in February near Monroe WA has that many. Sunnycamp will be smaller because (a) we aren't near large folk groups and (b) the camp itself is small...so it's a lot more informal and cozy...overlooks the oysterbeds of Willapa Bay.
