Camp Details!

Hi everyone!

It's so exciting that Xara Camp is just a few weeks away!  I wanted to let you know some important details so you can begin planning for this wonderful weekend of singing, moving, and social time!

Xara Camp is taking place this year from Friday August 20 (7 PM) to Sunday August 22 (7 PM) at the Berwick United Church Campgrounds. Please make sure that you have this time booked off of work so you can be there for the whole weekend!

Important details:

  • Xara camp is FREE for everyone (i.e. the Camerata Board is paying) - with the exception of travel costs and supper on Sunday evening (yay!)
  • You must organize your own transportation to Berwick - please start planning this ASAP!
  • It can be super hot or super cold at Berwick camp, so make sure to bring lots of layers
  • We will be staying in cabins this year - these are rustic but comfortable! You will be sharing accommodation with 4-5 other singers. The rooms are not remotely soundproof, so if you are light sleeper, bring ear plugs!
  • There are showers, sinks and flush toilets at camp in a building beside the cabins.  
    Special Fun Details:
    • There will be both new and returning members at camp this year so we are approaching this weekend with a spirit of openness and fun! 
    • We would like to ask that each cabin inclues at least one new singer to help everyone get to know each other a bit better!
    • In the spirit of the trickster theme of our spring show "Played", we are going to have 'secret friends' over the course of the weekend. On Friday night, you will draw someone's name out of a hat and they will be your 'secret friend' for the weekend. Your job over the course of the weekend is to surprise them in a fun and positive way (ie leaving them a little surprise on their bed, at their place for dinner, in an unexpected way etc) without them knowing that it's you! We will reveal the secret friends on Sunday!  You my want to bring a few things to help you with secret friend projects.
