Wilderness Dance Camp is hosted annually on the shores of Lake Coeur d’ Alene in northern Idaho at Camp N-Sid-Sen. Here we have the luxury of five days to sink into the container of community and connection with nature. We dance indoors in a lovely, light filled space.
N-Sid-Sen is a year-round retreat center. The name comes from a phrase of the Coeur d’Alene native people meaning “Point of Inspiration”. This incredibly beautiful site includes 270 acres and almost a mile of shoreline which include a cove and docks for swimming and boating, as well as hiking. The grounds also feature an outdoor chapel, two campfire circles, picnic areas, basketball and volleyball courts along the lake, and lots of quiet places where you can enjoy the beauty all around us. It is a perfect place for us to come together with our beloveds to Eat, Dance, and Pray together.
