Nova Scotia: The Gaelic College of Celtic Arts and Crafts offers one and two week sessions in July and August that offer Highland dance instruction. You can also have instruction in another discipline of the Celtic arts and crafts (including Cape Breton step dancing).
New York: The Braemar Summer School offers Highland Dancing and Kilt Making workshops at the end of June each year. The camp is held on the campus of the Emma Willard School in Troy, New York. Dance classes are for children ages 8 - adult and are grouped by ability. Participants stay in the campus dorm rooms and are grouped according to age. Kilt making classes require some experience in sewing and at the end of the camp students go home with a finished kilt. Attendees says it's a lot of fun. Many of our dancers have attended dance camp over the years and have learned new skills and made new friends.
