Discover something new in familiar territory as we travel to the lands of the British Isles. Campers will have fun learning new music from over a thousand abundant years of song and dance and theater, exploring the ancient cultures of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, maybe cultivating a proper English accent, and hopefully uncovering some new discoveries about Britain. With the Olympics in London this year, it’s a great opportunity to revel in the past and the future as only the Brits can.
With the Olympics in London this year, we thought you’d all enjoy a trip back to the birthplace of the English-language and the opportunity to explore the roots and influences of today’s music. We’ll have a Ceilidh, go searching for leprechaun’s and might even enjoy some tea and crumpets along the way.
