It’s a dance camp with music! It’s a music camp with dance! And so much more!

Join us for five days of contra dancing, music, and more. AmWeek 2026 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 3 pm for check-in, the last dance at camp is Friday morning, and there is a Friday night dance in Palo Alto.

We need your assistance to ensure AmWeek 2026’s success! Please help us spread the word to other contra dancers in early 2026, to ensure we get enough registrations before our deadline. If you’d like to help, please sign up for our AmWeek 2026 mailing list.
