FROM SCRATCH WEEKEND 2022
From Scratch weekend is a workshop designed for true beginners. If you’re interested in learning a new instrument or art form, this is the weekend for you. This year’s offerings include classes with master musicians, foraging, blacksmithing, and from scratch baking. 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.
