 John C Campbell Folk School offers creative, learning vacations for adults in a beautiful natural setting. With classes in craft, art, music, dance, cooking, gardening, nature studies, photography and writing.

 Gorilla Haven is the world's only private, AZA* certified gorilla holding facility. Owners, Steuart and Jane Dewar, have offered to provide some personal tours to offer a rare opportunity to our friends and neighbors, and to help raise funds for this important project.
Walking tour will include behind-the-scenes of the GH facility, including gorilla villas, habitat, veterinary hospital, food preparation room, administration, and group building. Chances of seeing gorilla residents, Joe and Oliver, are excellent and photography is allowed. |
