For those arriving on Thursday, June 26, check-in will be from 3:30-5:30pm. A late check-in is also scheduled for 7:00-9:00pm. Classes will be starting after dinner at 7:15pm. Two class slots on Thursday evening and two on Friday morning will each have 3 levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) of Lindy Hop classes as well as other options to choose from. You do not need to select any of these classes in advance.

For those arriving on Friday, June 27, check-in will be from 1:15-5:00pm. (Later check-in will also be available.) Lindy Hop Track classes start at 3:00pm. Please plan to arrive early enough to allow time to check-in before the start of your class.

Saturday to Wednesday will each include two or three Lindy Hop Track classes plus one or two additional slots for Optional Classes and Balboa Mini-Track Classes.

Ice Cream Party
This is dance camp, so there's dancing every night! Four nights will have live music plus great DJs spinning every evening. Regular dancing usually goes to about midnight, late night DJ dancing continues well into the night. Special events include a presentation with our special guest, performances, Beantown's Got Talent and a Soul Party with Peter Strom. Beantown Café and Games Room will be open each evening for snacks and socializing, and the Camp Shop will be available to purchase Beantown T-shirts as well as videos, DVDs, CDs and dance apparel. If you have dance-related items to sell, bring them along.

If you are interested in sports activities while on campus (in case all that dancing isn't enough), there is a fitness center and gym available, private beaches for swimming, sunning and beach volleyball, and plenty of areas for walking and running. Please note that there will not be a lifeguard on the beach.

The schedule is subject to change and a detailed final schedule will be included with the check-in information.

If your travel plans require you to arrive early or stay later, we suggest you take the opportunity to visit Boston, the north shore, or other nearby tourist spots. It is not possible to stay on campus after check-out. See the Nearby Attractions page for suggestions and tourist information.
