Each fall, FSSGB sponsors a weekend in a tranquil setting within easy driving distance of Boston. The weekend is filled with music -- song swaps, workshops and mini-concerts led by professional staff and campers on Saturday and Sunday. The Fall Getaway gives campers a chance to meet each other, trade songs and tunes, and enjoy a relaxing weekend away from the city.
Read past campers' reminiscences of past getaway weekends. Look at photos of past getaway weekends!
The last Fall Getaway Weekend was held October 7-9, 2006 at Bement Camp and Conference Center in Charlton, Massachusetts. The next one will be held October 6-8, 2007 (Saturday through Monday of Columbus Day Weekend) at Camp Chimney Corners in Becket, MA (in the Berkshires.)
Our staff for 2006 consisted of David Dodson and Diane Taraz.
