Imagine a week with some of the finest fiddlers and step dancers in Canada as your instructor. Now you can! Traditional Canadian old time fiddle music, "Ottawa Valley" step dance and traditional step dance. Last year's camp was great, and this year's will be even better! The Camp is held at Upper Canada Camp. Can't make it to Summer camp? How about a winter weekend workshop

The Orangeville Fiddle and Step Dance Camp is dedicated to promoting the art of traditional Canadian old time fiddling as well as traditional and Ottawa Valley step dancing. Music has the power to change and enrich people's lives and we, at the Orangeville Fiddle and Step Dance Camp, strive to be leaders in cultivating a love for this powerful cultural heritage.
By providing the participants the opportunity to truly experience this art form through instruction, high quality performances, workshops, and a variety of extra-curricular activities, we maintain our reputation for creative and stimulating programming which enables the participants to expand their musical horizons. Our relaxed, intimate, welcoming atmosphere is designed to inspire.

 Fiddling in the GREAT outdoors We have had students from 8 to 87, at all levels of playing. Some have never held a fiddle in their hands before. Some are contest players. Want to learn more tunes? Want to learn to play better? Our instructors can help you with both.
