Band Being-together New-laughs-old-friends Dance Happy-hour Walk Wildlife Discover-the-unexpected Fall Camp 2026
The 7th Fall Camp will be Oct. 30 – Nov. 1, and it promises to be another vibrant, fun-filled weekend. Once again, camp will be on the Brandeis-Bardin Campus near Simi Valley (40 miles northwest of downtown LA), with a delightful combination of creature comforts (such as motel-style rooms with heating and air conditioning) and a lovely rural setting. We will dance in a beautiful, air conditioned hall with a wood floor.
In addition to teaching, camp will offer many entertaining and even enriching attractions, including a Halloween-themed dance party, a Fall Colors-themed dance party, happy hours, the Potluck Band (open to all musical campers), craft projects and puzzles, stargazing with a rocket scientist, morning nature walks, and some other past favorites and new surprises.
Join us for another magical, fun-filled weekend of dance, music, crafts, nature, and camaraderie.
Campus
Once again, Fall Camp will be on the beautiful rural Brandeis-Bardin Campus near Simi Valley, with its comfortable motel-style rooms in an idyllic, natural setting. Nestled in a woodsy alcove, the campus is a lovely place where you can enjoy being close to nature while still having the creature comforts of excellent meals (upgraded from previous years), motel-style rooms (with private bathrooms, heat, and air conditioning), and more. You can dance when you feel like it, and when you don’t, do other things such as catching up with friends, playing Scrabble, working on a jigsaw puzzle with others, getting a massage, completing a craft project, going for a walk in nature, reading a good book, meditating, or doing nothing at all. You don’t have to get on a plane or drive treacherous mountain roads to be with nature, and WiFi is available too!
About 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, near Simi Valley, Brandeis-Bardin is a lovely and comfortable place to spend a weekend dancing with friends. The beautifully landscaped grounds have many mature trees and offer breathtaking views of the Santa Susana Mountains. The camp’s address is 1101 Peppertree Lane, Brandeis, CA 93064. Fly into Burbank or LAX.
