Only an hour and a half from Tucson and two hours from Phoenix, the **Triangle Y Ranch Camp** is located in the northern foothills of the **Santa Catalina Mountains**. At a 5000 foot elevation, the camp’s 400 acres provide beautiful **scenery** and ample facilities. Dance on our custom-made, resilient **wood floor**, and enjoy the amazing view of the San Pedro River valley from the dining hall. Hike and explore the surrounding **Coronado National Forest** in the Arizona sunshine.
Check-in opens at 3:00 p.m. on Friday. Please plan to arrive before dark (5:30pm) to get settled in your cabin or camping spot. Camp begins with supper, followed by a dance. We start Saturday with a hearty breakfast, then prepare for a full day of workshops for dancers, singers, and musicians. Saturday night’s gala dance will be followed by late night jamming. Sunday morning features more music and dance workshops, and the weekend concludes with a dance after lunch on Sunday. Camp closes at 3:00 p.m.
**Rustic cabins** each house up to twelve campers in bunks and share nearby rest rooms and shower houses. Cabins are designated family, mixed-gender, or single gender, and will be available on a first-come basis at camp. There is plenty of space for tent camping and RV parking. You can also arrange your own off-site accommodations in nearby Oracle or Catalina and receive a discount on your registration fee. If you have further questions about accommodations, send a message through the contact form below.
Six hearty meals (Friday supper through Sunday lunch) plus delightful snacks will be provided. There are both omnivore and vegetarian options. Campers with more specific dietary needs should plan to provide their own food.

##### Making It Happen

Other than the musicians and callers, Dance in the Desert is entirely run by volunteers. Each camper is asked to do one chore at camp. Let us know in advance if you have any special needs or talents.
A limited number of Work Trade positions are available ($60 off for approximately 3 hours of work) for those needing financial assistance. Please note on the registration form if you wish to request the work trade option.
