June Camp May 31 - June 3, 2018 - Registration Open

Received from the June Camp Committee:
Registration for June Camp 2018 is open! The website has been updated with information about this year's exciting dance camp, which will be held, as usual, the weekend after Memorial Day, from Thursday evening, May 31, through Sunday morning, June 3. 
 
The venue will again be the Holmes Student Center at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, with its huge ballroom and comfortable hotel rooms. 
 
We're very pleased to bring back world-renowned Croatian dance teacher Ċ½eljko Jergan, who will teach a new program of dances, but also be willing to review some of his previously taught dances in Friday's Dance Exchange. 
 
Qur favorite musicians from the Pinewoods Band - Tom Pixton, Ralph Iverson, and newcomer Yaron Shragai - will be back for great dance parties every evening. 
 
Once again we'll have a Boutique and Silent Auction to raise money for our scholarship fund, so you can start finding those unneeded treasures you might want to donate! 
 
The late fee deadline is May 10 and any T-shirts must be ordered by May 4, so don't delay! Go to the website to check out the details, find the online registration form, and use PayPal or send a check to reserve your spot! 
 
There are special prices for full-time students and work scholarships. (Application deadline for these is May 4; there is an online work scholar application). 
 
You can contact us at junecampifd@gmail.com with any questions. We hope to see you in DeKalb!
