Join us for five days of contra dancing, music, and more. AmWeek 2025 continues this beloved annual celebration of all things contra dance, taking place at the beautiful Quaker Center in Ben Lomond, CA. Dancing, calling, and making music under the stars and among the forest redwoods…. what could be better? Lodgings and meals are provided, so you can focus on contra fun! Camp opens Sunday 4 pm for check-in, the last dance at camp is Friday morning, and there is a Friday night dance in Palo Alto.
It’s a dance camp with music! It’s a music camp with dance! And so much more!
AmWeek Fun!
