It takes a lot to be your Folk School. With 800+ weeklong and weekend classes for 6,200+ people per year, and with vibrant music, dance, craft, and art event offerings, all on a large, 270-acre campus, your non-profit needs the support of everyone who values immersive creative learning and relational interactions as a way to a more fulfilled life.
We appreciate your support and are glad you’re part of the Folk School family.
When you financially support the Folk School, you’re helping make the world a more caring and creative place. Tangibly, that means maintaining and equipping studios, housing, the dining facility, History Center, Craft Shop, Log Cabin Museum, trails and gardens. It means supporting a robust traditional Appalachian concert and dance program. It means enabling scholarships for people who would otherwise be unable to attend. And it means reaching out to area youth with programs like Little Middle Folk School and our Junior Appalachian Musicians program.
"Gift provided in honor of my daughter who considers the Folk School her true home."
"For all the times I've been welcomed, entertained, fed, educated, and amazed. John C. Campbell has been such an important part of my life. Thank you!"
"All 3 of our grandkids attended Little Middle from the year they became eligible until they aged out. It was the most wonderful experience for three city kids to come to the mountains to spend a week with us and see the world of opportunities through different eyes. We want to help provide other kids with this amazing experience!"
"Our gift is in thankfulness for the wonderful staff of the Folk School...Gracious friends who help us feel at home with you from the first contact by phone."
"The joy of creating is contagious and obvious."
