Registration at BACDS English Dance & Music Week 2010
We accept only
full-time registrants. Campers are generally 18 or older, though younger
applicants will be considered if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The full fee
of $830 includes room, board, and tuition. A deposit of $150 per person
is due with each application. The full fee is due on June 1. Any last-minute
registration fees after June 28 must be paid in full by cash, cashier’s
check, or traveler’s check.
If the week
is oversubscribed on March 28, we will hold a drawing of all applications
postmarked by March 15. We will consider applications postmarked after
March 15 in order of receipt. We will email notification of acceptance or
waiting list status by April 5. The postmark date of an application is the postmark date on the mail that contains the camp deposit.
Note: Acceptance notifications and all other correspondence and packets will be sent via the email address from your registration form, unless you specify otherwise.
Cancellation
Policy
If you cancel before March 28, we refund all but $25. On or after March
28, the full $150 deposit is non-refundable. After June 1, we will retain
$400 if we are unable to fill your place from a waiting list. The full fee
is non-refundable after June 28.
Scholarships
Indicate your interest for a scholarship on the application form.
Submit your application by the lottery deadline of March 15 in case
we are oversubscribed.
Although all
campers will have light daily chores, the smooth operation of camp depends
upon the efforts of Work Scholarship campers. All campers are eligible
for this scholarship, which reduces the fee to just $415. Work scholarship
requests must be accompanied by the $150 deposit.
Thanks
to the generosity of the Country Dance and Song Society and
affiliate CDSS communities, three full ‘Youth’ Scholarships
are available to campers age 18-30 who demonstrate community leadership
potential in display or country dance, music or song. CDSS provides
half the fee and a CDSS affiliate group provides half. Your local
group must apply on your behalf. More information about the Youth
Scholarships is available here.
A full
tuition ‘Jude Biggs’ Musician's Scholarship is available
to a promising dance musician, one whose energies and inspiration
at camp will contribute to dances in his or her local community. More
information about the Jude Biggs Scholarship is available here.
For your
convenience, if you don't have access to our printed brochure, we
offer a registration form that you can
fill out online and print out, to be mailed along with your check.
We don't offer direct registration online at this time.
You may also
download the PDF file of the entire English Week brochure here.

Again, the postmark date of an application is the postmark date on the mail that contains the camp deposit.
For the health
of all camp participants, we strongly encourage the use of nontoxic and
fragrance-free products at camp. More information is available here.
