Quilters, writers, and blacksmiths pursue their work in an encouraging atmosphere while music students fully immerse themselves in old-time study, their days and nights filled with instruction from expert musicians, jam sessions, and an instructor concert. Participants will choose one workshop for the entire event. Afternoon mini classes give participants a chance to take part in learning something totally new. With more than 1,140 acres of forest consisting of breathtaking canyons, waterfalls, miles of hiking trails, and glistening streams, there’s plenty of exploring to do during your free time. Take a hike, go canoeing, or pick a porch and rocking chair to relax.
