Join us for a monthly one-shot adventure. All experience levels are welcome.

A program where individuals bring their own supplies to work on a project while others do the same. It’s a way to connect socially, enjoy your hobby, and be productive in the process! Whether you quilt, scrapbook, paint, decoupage, or anything of the like, this program is for you!

Once again, we’ve reserved the perfect natural space for dancing, live music, and being a part of the community of musicians and dancers.
Camp, choose a bunk in rustic cabins, or reserve your spot in modern air-conditioned cabins. Update, Aug 14: All cabins (rustic and modern) are full. Camping, of course is still available. If you like, you may email [email protected] to be added to a waitlist for rustic or modern bunks.
Enjoy workshops, jamming, singing, canoeing, beach activities, and more!
Reconnect with old-time friends, meet new friends and dance, dance, dance!
Great meals and snacks all weekend!
Everyone helps – it adds to the fun and reduces the cost!

William Covert – synthesizer + drums – Chicago, IL
After drumming in bands like Space Dust, Droughts, and Rust Ring, William Covert set out composing music for synthesizer and drums which he could perform solo. Creating without regard to any genre, “it’s not punk music for synthesizer and drums, it’s not jazz music for synthesizer and drums, it’s just Music for Synthesizer and Drums…fully composed songs as well as quasi-improvised pieces that play off the beauty of imperfections inherent with analog synthesizers and acoustic drums that keeps the music lively, but not sterile. This is weird music made for weird people.” William has played in Bloomington numerous times, and this will be his first solo performance here.
