Family Week
Program Highlights
Our goal during this week is to create a safe and caring community where families can interact in healthy, positive ways through participation in traditional arts. Our daily schedule includes three age-based workshops along with two all-community gatherings. At the end of the day, time is set aside for swimming, sailing, hiking, and just relaxing.

The heart and soul of Lady of the Lake return with their magic. Greg and Jere make our family gatherings a celebration of community and more. These identical twins from Seattle sing and play into your hearts. Goofy songs, leading our children to bed, hammering out old time music, playing swing tunes late at night, and even mastering card games - these two do it all at Lady of the Lake.
Katy is a Berea, Kentucky native and former member of the Berea Festival Dancers. She has taught Appalachian songs, dances, and games at a variety of dance camps, including Pinewoods, Buffalo Gap, Cumberland Camp, and Lady of the Lake.
