Little Middle Folk School
Every summer the Folk School opens its doors to young folks age 7-17 for Little/Middle
Folk School, an opportunity for youths to discover Appalachian culture and to take part
in hands-on programs in dozens of arts and crafts.
Participants are divided into two groups. “Littles” are rising second-graders to rising
sixth-graders, and “Middles” are rising seventh-graders to rising twelfth-graders.
Little/Middle features nearly 30 youth classes. Be sure to register early, as these are filled
on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration information for the youth programs will be
available online at www.folkschool.org in mid March 2014.
