Join us for our annual Old-Time weekend where quilters and blacksmiths pursue their work while music students immerse themselves in old-time classes. This year's lineup includes music classes with the Onlies, Nokosee Fields, and the return of Judy Hyman, Jeff Claus, and Mick and Evan Kinney. 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. 

Pricing is based on meals, lodging, and tuition:
