MAKING MERRY

AUGUST CAMPERS LOVE A GOOD PARTY!
Nightly themed dance parties. Need we say more?

After each day of new-dance immersion, the evenings are for kicking back. Let your hair down with us at our exciting parties, where the only requirement is that you have fun!
​
  • Costumes highly encouraged, and the more ridiculous the better.
  • Dancing—of course! Lead your favorites, learn some of the other groups' go-to dances, or chair dance while you socialize with old and new friends.
  • Refresh and recharge with our homemade treats and fresh fruit.

Tapping your toes at the thought of it, future Camper? We can't wait to see your interpretation of this year's exciting themes. Scroll down to read all about them!

2019 Party Themes

Thursday: Purple and Pink
Tonight will be a celebration of all things purple and pink:
  • Purple: The color of magic and mystery, royalty, and rarity. A color representing privilege and wealth, but also harmony. 
  • Pink: Named after the flower of the same name. The color associated with sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, and romance.
When combined, however, these colors imply sultry seduction. Dress as a purple people eater or a pretty pink princess. Keep your eye out for the Peculiar Purple Pie man of Porcupine Peak and the Pink Panther on the Prowl. Show your purple pride and pink passion!
Friday: For the Birds
Fluff up your plumage for a tribute to the avian world. Although “for the birds” 
means worthless, here’s a chance to make it clear that they are not. From rubber duckies to scarlet macaws, hummingbirds to house sparrows, every bird is special. Bird watchers, conservationists, early birds, birds of a feather, and fully-evolved dinosaurs are all welcome. So flap your wings and preen your feathers for a convocation of winged delights.
Saturday: Red Tie Affair
Voulez-vous danser avec moi? Can-can you kick your heels up for one last night of frivolity? Get out that little RED dress or don your top hat and cane for this RED tie affair. Bring your ruffles and bustles; your suits and boots; your boas, your vests, your satin, your brass buttons! Roses are red; violets are red; scarlet, vermilion, ruby, and claret! Messieurs and Mademoiselles: gather for the formal finale to our international dancing extravaganza.

Already thinking up some fabulous party costumes?

So are we. And we can't wait to see you make your grand entrance at our parties in 2019.
