Remembering Dudley Laufman
February 7, 1931 – July 13, 2026
Dudley Laufman, longtime supporter of Maine Fiddle Camp and famous contra and square dance musician and caller for over 7 decades, left this earth July 13. One of the many ways MFC is celebrating Dudley Laufman is by playing his compositions and favorite tunes for the dances every night at camp. Every afternoon we will have a workshop to learn them.

Welcome Tunes
Here are some tunes from our common repertoire. We will play these together on the first night of camp.
About Maine Fiddle Camp
Maine Fiddle Camp is a multi-generational traditional music camp in central Maine. Not just for fiddles, MFC offers instruction in at least 14 instruments plus voice. Instructors emphasize learning and playing by ear. All ages and levels are welcome—from skilled players to people who have never played before. Besides instrument workshops, there are opportunities to perform, sing around the campfire, and “form a band”. There are jam sessions, variety shows, old time country dances and traditional camp activities like swimming and games for the kids. The FOOD at MFC is healthy, locally sourced wherever possible, respectful campers’ dietary needs, and above all, delicious.
If you were at camp and forgot to get your t-shirt or cap, don’t despair, you can order directly from the source!
