Location—RainyCamp is held at Camp Don Bosco in Carnation, Washington. Maps will be sent with your receipt, starting early December. Accommodations are dormitory buildings with rooms containing 6-8 bunk beds. Each building has toilet facilities, but showers are in separate buildings. Bedding is not provided. RV’s can bring you to the site, but may not be used as dormitories (camp rules).

Workshops—There are a number of scheduled workshops on Saturday and Sunday, and always space left for do-it-yourself ones. As RainyCamp is an offshoot of Seattle Song Circle, most are in song circle format (participants take turns to lead, request, or pass), but some may be presentation or teaching. Subjects in past years have ranged from Celtic, Bawdy and Parodies to Gospel, French-Canadian and Songwriting. As both subjects and leaders are drawn from the attendees, we need suggestions and volunteers—if you’re interested, please let us know by Dec 10 if possible (when indicating time wanted, don't be shy -- if a workshop runs out of steam earlier, just break up & go to another one). Although the primary focus of the weekend is singing, instrumental jams are common and space is available for them.

Meals—Friday night is a potluck. The rest of the meals will be catered, and will include both meat and vegetarian dishes. In the interest of keeping prices as low as possible, they will be basically ‘camp food’, though as nutritious as we can afford, but feel free to bring anything additional you want (or need, if you’re on a special diet).

Children—Kids are always welcome, but must be supervised, and their parents are responsible for seeing that this is done. We have little scheduled so far in the way of specific kids’ activities—please indicate if you’d be interested in helping us develop some (eg nature walks, games, etc).

Payment—We can no longer accept charge cards, but do take cash, check or money order. There will be no discounted rate for stays of less than the full weekend. If the weather makes getting to the camp impossible (as opposed to just difficult), we will refund as much of your money as we can after deducting non-recoverable expenses. Otherwise, refunds will be as follows:
     • up to 2 weeks before the event, 100%
     • to 3 days before the event, partial (again,
           depending on expenses)
     • less than 3 days before the event, no refund.

We do offer several work scholarships for Friday setup and Sunday final clean-up—check with us as soon as possible if you are interested—they’re a great way to a free weekend. We may also have a few special-case scholarships available.
