The SFFMC is proud to announce a new camp, which we are calling New Harmony, at a larger and much more comfortable location. New Harmony will be held at Camp Newman in the rolling wooded countryside between Santa Rosa and Calistoga.

This new venue for our long-standing winter camp is actually a year-round camp and retreat center that provides improved facilities on a site that is both compact and spacious. We will have more places to gather and less ground to cover inbetween; there are a variety of halls and gathering spaces to meet all our workshop, dancing, and jamming needs.

One of the larger halls has a great fieldstone fireplace and big window-walls looking onto the lawns, trees, and forested hillsides beyond. All buildings have easy access with paved paths and ramps and there are actually bathrooms in every building.

Accommodations range from group dorm-style housing to motel-like doubles, and there's a nicely appointed Health Lodge located near all the central buildings for those who require the most convenient homebase at camp.

This is an important transition year for Camp Harmony and our community so commit your calendars now and plan to help us make it a memorable success. Set the tone for you and yours by ringing in a harmonious new year!.

Lead a workshop, begin a new instrument, join in a jam or sing along. Hike through the woods, make new friends over cider or while jamming, and do it all surrounded by folks making music and having fun.

We're a home made camp, and we put it on for each other. It's a wonderful, supportive environment for trying out new things. Here it's easy to take the first steps at teaching, whether calling a first dance, teaching a beginning instrument class, or leading a song for the first time. Some folks have found the inspiration to write a song or tune at camp, and the evening concert has debuted some keepers.

You never know what will happen, it all depends on who shows up. Will it be you?
