DIRECTIONS To Camp

For our 2011 camp, we have rented a new main building, called Weatherford Hall, for accommodations and dining, in addition to the dance gym and a few of the cabins we used before. This hall has many great qualities and addresses many of the concerns that came out of our 2010 survey.
Welcome to Weatherford Hall
DETAILS & PHOTOS (.pdf)
-
First, we will have this hall entirely for our group!
-
The hall includes three floors with 40 rooms total that can sleep up to 80+ dancers comfortably (2-3 per room). Each room has two regular beds (1 small double, 1 single); separate sink, shower, and toilet; and a dresser, desk, and chairs. The rooms do not have AC, but the windows can be opened.
-
There's a full dining hall and commercial kitchen. The dining hall can seat up to 80+ folks. (We can add additional tables to the common area as needed.)
-
There's a wonderful common area with a fireplace for gathering, visiting, crafts, fun & games, or anything else we want.
-
The outside deck has picnic tables and will be a perfect gathering spot for our singers and outdoor meals, weather permitting.
-
There are two activity rooms that are perfect for smaller gatherings, particularly for rehearsals for our musicians and singers.
-
MEALS: We hire our own chef.
-
CABINS: We rent only the nicer cabins located nearby Weatherford Hall (so the cabin folks can easily join us for meals.)
-
WALKING to the dance gym: While Weatherford Hall is little further from the dance gym, you will be walking mostly across the Blue Ridge Center Parking lot on a gradual incline.
-
DANCING AFTER 11 p.m. Yes!
-
RESTROOMS (GYM): We will need to keep the same arrangement as last year, with a lighted path to the bathrooms in the second gym. However , the camp will give us a key so we can close the two gyms ourselves. (NOTE: The dance gym, a historic 100-year-old building, does not have any plumbing, so changes in the dance gym itself are not an option.)
Please visit the YMCA web site for more pictures and facility descriptions, as well as see our CAMP PHOTOS.
