Dance Camp FAQs
Q: When is Dance Camp?
A: Every year in Sept. Next dance camp is Sept 10-13 2027 SAVE THE DATE! Tickets on sale in June 2027.
Q: What is the theme?
A: Every year it changes 80’s dance movie themes. We have done Dirty Dancing, Flashdance, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and Grease 1 and 2!
Q: Do I need to have a certain level of dance experience to attend?
A: LITERALLY NOT AT ALL! The Angela Trimbur Dance Academy ethos is that everyone is a dancer – camp is open to all stages of confidence, all levels of practice.
Q: Do I need to have taken an Angela Trimbur Dance class in order to register for camp?
A: Nope! We can’t wait to meet you. Excited that many who don’t even live in NYC to take the classes are able to attend.
Q: Wait, where is camp?
A: We will be approximately 2 hours outside of NYC in the gorgeous Pocono Mountains. Camp Timber Tops! It’s too perfect.
Q: I randomly live nearby and wouldn’t need to bunk at camp. Are there day passes available?
A: No, the only way to participate in camp is to have registered for the full experience! Which includes being away from home and family…sleeping in a bunk with others! 100% in or bust!
Q: Will transportation be provided?
A: We are exploring booking a charter bus you can register for separately, or we provide a community board to find a carpool!
Q: What if I have to leave camp on Sunday instead of Monday? Do I still have to pay the full amount?
A: Yes, camp is all three nights. If some campers have to arrive late or leave early we will miss that time with you, but the registration fee doesn’t change. There’s no flexibility with our group rates within the camp, so everyone regardless of the amount of time they’re at camp needs to pay the full fee.
Q: What time should we plan to arrive on Friday? And depart on Monday?
A: We are tentatively kicking things off with check-in beginning at 6pm on Friday, but if you have to arrive later all good! Once we send the final schedule if you think you’ll be arriving after dinner, just make sure you eat on the way. And check-out is expected to be around 11am on Monday.
Q: Do you need volunteers?
A. Ah thank you but no volunteers are needed we are ready for you! Please register and enjoy the camp experience!

Q: What do I need to bring to camp?
A: We will provide a fitted sheet, you’ll bring everything else you’ll need (blankets, pillow/pillowcase, towels). Pack clothes for dance class (including sneakers and knee pads!) which can lean into the theme or our beloved 80s dance leos, a bathing suit, and whatever Grease character looks or 50s & 60s world you want to sport. (You can go all out or just bring cateye glasses – whatever feels most fun for you!) We recommend bringing cute items to deck out your cabin with your new bunkmates (no incense or candles tho). It will be mid-September in the mountains, so please keep that in mind and bring warm clothes, especially for evenings. We’ll send a packing list to campers closer to camp.
Q: I have a friend who signed up too. Can we bunk together??
A: You’ll be able to put in your rooming requests when you register! No guarantees but we will try our very hardest.
Q: I’m flying into NYC to come to camp but how can I get there, I don’t know anyone (yet)?
A: We’re looking into a charter bus (you will receive information after registering for camp), or last year some people rented a car and drove together from the airport. We’ll also share a ride board if you are looking to hop into a carpool.
Q: I have dietary restrictions. Can these be accommodated?
A: Yes! We will be collecting that info during registration to let their chef know.
Q: Can I bring my own snacks?
A: You may bring your own snacks, but they must be kept in the kitchen and not in bunks due to the wildlife in the area.
