THE BRANDEIS-BARDIN CAMPUS

About 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, near Simi Valley, the Brandeis-Bardin Campus of the American Jewish University is a charming and comfortable spot to spend a weekend enjoying various folk dance camp activities with friends. The beautifully landscaped grounds, adorned with mature trees, provide stunning views of the Santa Susana Mountains. (Scroll down for some pictures.)

Fall Camp at Brandeis-Bardin is one of the many folk dance camps hosted by the folk dance federation, conveniently located just south of the 118 Freeway. The nearest exit is Tapo Canyon Road, which leads directly to the camp.

A great dance experience and more

Fall Camp is about more than just great dancing; it's a welcoming space where you can be yourself, relax, and find joy. This folk dance camp offers a variety of optional activities, including crafts, star gazing, nature walks, and even folk band practice and performance. You'll have the chance to spend time with wonderful people who share your love for dance. We invite you to join us for the Stockton folk dance camp in October 2026. Remember, Halloween costumes are optional. Check out this video to experience some of the magic from our inaugural folk dance camps in 2019, brought to you by the folk dance federation.

Fall Camp is held in honor of Beverly & Irwin Barr.

For over 30 years, the Barrs and their dedicated helpers have worked tirelessly to provide a wonderful folk dance camp every fall at Camp Hess Kramer. This cherished folk dance camp is generously supported by the Folk Dance Federation of California, South. The cofounders of Fall Camp and 2019-2022 co-directors, Jan and Marc Rayman, were aided by many talented volunteers. In 2023 and 2024, Lee Otterholt directed this beloved folk dance camp event, while Terry Gucwa took on the role in 2025. Jan and Marc are set to direct the camp once again in 2026, ensuring that the spirit of folk dance camps, like the Stockton folk dance camp, continues to thrive.
