Clear Lake Camp - Dowling, Michigan
Come Dance in Lovely Michigan April 26 - 28, 2024!
It’s our 30th Annual Trillium Twirl Spring Dance Camp, the one we wait for all winter. It’s finally warming, the birds are back, frogs are singing, the crocus are blooming - and by the end of April, the Trilliums will appear!
We’ll celebrate our 30th anniversary by welcoming dance caller Bob Isaacs for his first time at Trillium! Bob is from New Jersey, and has treated dancers across the US and Europe to his many creative dances, clear teaching, and spirited calling for many years. Whether he is calling flowing contras, hot squares, or his famous grid squares, dancers are sure to enjoy a dance that is different and fun!
The hot music from Hot Coffee Breakdown will keep you caffeinated and dancing happy all weekend! They’ve been making the rounds to some of the very best dances over the past few years, and now they'll join us for their first Trillium Twirl!

Two bunkhouses provide sleeping rooms for men-only, women-only, and coed for couples, and separate showers for men and women. Tent and RV sites are available, but no water or electrical hookups. The main facility features two beautiful dance floors! **Please leave pets at home.**
