Here's Something Different: Day Camp for Adults in Metroparks

Cleveland Metroparks Historical Interpreter Foster Brown will have a special five-day Appalachian Lifestyle Adult Day Camp from June 11-15 at Redwing Cabin in Hinckley Reservation.

From 9:30 a.m to noon each day, enjoy hands-on study about the life and art of the Appalachian culture.

Adult campers will build and learn how to play an Appalachian dulcimer and will make a berry basket, a beeswax candle and a drinking gourd. Participants will also learn the art of spinning a good folk tale, sing Appalachian folk songs and taste foods characterized by this mountain lifestyle. 

Registration starts May 28 and space is limited. There is a $150 fee per person (includes dulcimer kit, instruction book, gourd, beeswax, basket materials and insightful instructions).

Redwing Cabin is located off West Drive in Hinckley Reservation, between Bellus and State roads in Hinckley Township.
