Notes
MARKET PLACE : At each camp, there is set out a market place where individuals can lay out their wares, books, music, crafts and more. Many teachers and performers at the camp will be selling their work, but everyone is welcome to throw a rug down on the grass and join the market. The market usually takes place around noon til 3 on Saturday.
