At any time... any day... and just about anywhere, sessions are known to happen. You can find them frequently around the fire circles, in dining halls, in the kitchen, on the steps, at cabins and campsites, on the woodpile, or along the path, etc.

You're free to listen if you like, or join right in. All you need for a calling card is to be polite and use common sense so that everyone has a great time. There is plenty of room around camp for sessions, so they're very easy to find. And if you don't see one that tickles your fancy, start one up... everyone's welcome.

Every night after dinner there are several dances held in large welcoming dance halls located around the camp. The variety is astounding and wonderful... everyone that comes to Lark Camp ends up dancing at some point. There's English Country Dance, Irish Céilí, French, Contras, Squares, Cajun, Greek, Bulgarian, Latin, Tangos, Balkan, Swing and more in the main Dance halls. And then you can find more intimate dances like Irish Set Dancing, Belly Dancing etc. going on in some of the dining halls. In other words, if you like to dance, Lark Camp is a good place to be.

Lark Camp takes place in the Mendocino Woodlands State Park, a National Historic Landmark built in the 1930s, nestled in 700 acres of redwood trees, ferns, and glades along both sides of the Little North Fork of the Big River in Northern California, near the coastal village of Mendocino.

The developed area of the Park consists of three large, private, rustic campgrounds-each with cabins and a dining/recreation hall. Twenty-five miles of hiking trails in and around the Park, an open meadow, large beaver pond, river otters, deer, fox and other flora and fauna complete the magic of the Woodlands.
