SONH cancelled for 2020

Dear campers,

Despite all our hopes, the uncertainty of the future coupled with the nature of partner dancing and its potential health hazard in the COVID-19 crisis has brought us to the decision to cancel Swing Out New Hampshire this year.  This was a very hard decision for my team to make, but health and safety must remain a top priority for all of us.

During this decision-making process, we have worked closely with Camp Wicosuta and thank them for their support through this time. We wish Wico the best as they plan and prepare to be able to open for their campers and staff.

Our organizing team is weathering the cancellation in stride. Still, many of our teachers, musicians and support staff are affected by the loss of work and could use your help. If you are in a place to offer support to them during this time, please visit our support page for a list of ways you can help.

We are still looking for ways to potentially host virtual camp activities as a way for us to all stay connected, and will be in touch if those plans come to fruition.

We look forward to the time we can meet again where the purple lilacs grow, and dance together with the joy that we have always had. Until then, we hope we can all stay safe and healthy, and support each other as best we can.

Classes & Activities

In addition to classes and evening dances, schedules allow for free time activities including the lake, pool, campfire, and relaxation.

Focus on Learning

Swing Out New Hampshire is known for being a camp where everyone wants to participate in their tracked classes. You'll improve your dancing and enjoy personal attention from some of the greatest Lindy Hop instructors in the world!

Focus on Social Dancing

Competitions are fun and inspiring to watch-- we love them too. But at Swing Out New Hampshire our focus is on the magical experience of social dancing. You won't have to worry about sitting down for the fourteenth time in an evening to let another competition get you out of your social dance groove. In this modern era, give that part of your dancing the attention it deserves!

Focus on Fun

You're going to love all the things this camp has to offer besides Lindy Hop. It's an experience that makes this camp, in particular, simply unforgettable.
