Friday, October 19 through Monday, Oclober 22,2001
Camp Ramblewood, Darlington, MI) (near Havre de Grace)
What is the Getaway?
For nearly 37 years, FSGW has held its
Getaway weekend so that members and
friends can share music, stories, crafts and
dance in a relaxed camp setting.
The Getaway is:
• Music-making under the trees, on the lawn,
by the pond, or by the pool;
• Group singing and jamming at its best;
• Informal workshops on singing, dancing,
crafts and storytelling led by FSGW mem
bers and friends;
• Trying a craft-quilting, basket-making, pup
pets, and mask-making have been high
lights of past years;
• Great food;
• A terrific weekend for the whole family, with
lots of special children's activities;
• A chance to renew old friendships and make
new ones;
• A beautiful camp with modem facilities in
scenic rolling hills adjacent to the
Susquehanna River;
• A wonderful chance for parents to introduce
their kids to the magic of group singing and
dancing - or to discover that magic for the
first time themselves.
Dales and Times
This year's Getaway is scheduled at the
height of Fall colors. Camp Ramblewood
spreads out over rolling hillsides bordering the
Susquehanna River just below the Conowingo
Dam, north of Flavre de Grace, Maryland. Camp
Ramblewood is about 8 miles north of Exits 89
(Flavre de Grace) or 93 (Port Deposit) of 1-95.
It's only 90 minutes North of the 1-495
Beltway, in a direction far less subject to traffic
jams than Virginia. You may choose to stay
over either two or three nights, or you may
come for the day if you are unable to get away
for the whole weekend. Daytrippers are offered
two meals, lunch and dinner each day. (But you
must register in advance if you wish to dine!)
The weekend starts Friday evening with a
potluck dinner. If you register for two nights,
your registration fee covers three wonderful
meals and a midnight snack both days on
Saturday and Sunday. Three-night registration
gives you an additional night's lodging and
breakfast on Monday morning.
Facilities
The dining hall, several common rooms, the
pub, the drama barn, the dance bam (with a
hardwood sprung floor), and the outdoor pavil
ion offer all-weather spaces for music making
and dancing. NO SMOKING is allowed in any
of the camp buildings.
If you choose to go to bed, there are more
than 50 rooms, mostly in modem cabins. They
feature indoor flush plumbing and hot show
ers; comfortable beds with box-spring mat
tresses (bring your own linens and bedding).
There are handicapped-accessible cabins with
wheelchair-accessible bathrooms for those who
need them; please indicate any special needs
when you register. Cabins are not heated (bring
warm clothes!). If you prefer to bring a tent or
your own RV, you may do so, and camp on the
grounds (no discounts, but you get guaranteed
privacy!). If you don't want to sing, there's a
pond with boats (and stocked with fish), tennis
courts, ball fields, and a trail through the woods
to the banks of the Susquehanna. The immedi
ate area offers antiques, history and horse
farms. (See more of Camp Ramblewood at it's
website: www.ramblewood.com.)

help make sure everything is in order when we
check out.

istration form for the fee
that applies to you.

costs to mn this
event - food,
camp rental,
etc.
