Head for the Hills is Princeton Country Dancers' lively, friendly weekend of dance, music and song.  This annual weekend retreat will occur on November 12-14 at Camp Harlam in the Poconos with its wonderful dance floors and comfortable cabins.  The location is near Kresgeville, PA, about a 2-hour drive from Princeton or 1.5 hours from Philadelphia.  Camp Harlam has two large dance halls with great wood floors and smaller rooms for workshops and jamming.  The modern rooms are double or quadruple occupancy with private or semi-private baths.  Meals are served family-style in a large dining room.

Our musicians, callers, workshop leaders, and coordinators pool their talents and energy to make this a fantastic weekend for adults and children alike.  This year's terrific staff includes Raise the Roof, Scott Higgs, A Band Named Bob, Sue Dupre, A Joyful Noise, Lise Patterson, Carmen Valverde and a lot more.  The Princeton pick-up band (open to anyone) plays for the Saturday night dance.  Activities include 3 hot contra dances, a long English dance, tune swap, jamming, our fabulous ceilidh (talent show), an oh-so-elegant cocktail party, a chamber music mini-concert, workshops for swing, contra, English and morris dancing, singing, and couple dancing.

Attendance is encouraged for children and teenagers.  Because we enjoy them so, and because we don't want them just drifting around all weekend, we have enriched our programming for youth and children to include Kid's Band, Ceilidh skits, children's morris dancing, and sports.  Those young people who can and want to are welcome in adult workshops and at dances.  In addition, we will have workshops geared to specific children's age groups.  This year we have the possibility of a boys bunk for those 8-13 with teenage CIT's and an experienced, adult camp director in residence.   Please indicate on the registration form if you have a son who is interested.   Last year, we had over 20 children at Head for the Hills! 

We will have coordinated, co-op childcare again this year for children under 6.   Co-op chair Lynda Lee will contact participating parents to set up a schedule.   In this way, you should not have to miss your favorite workshops or dances.   However, the childcare co-ordinator will not personally babysit if there is no co-op coverage for a particular time slot.  Remember, the ultimate responsibility for your children is still yours.

Fees for the weekend are: Adult  $135,  Children 3-6  $45,   Children 7-18  $90.
