Nestled in the hills of West Virginia , Adult & Family Week at Timber Ridge is a unique combination of adult and family camp. It's a magical place were parents, grandparents, singles, couples, young adults, teenagers, and young children all come together in a joyous mix of dance and song. Add art, swimming, storytelling, canoeing, friends, and late-night snacks, and we have a wonderful, memorable good time.

The week features two callers known for their joyful, spirited dancing and dance leadership - Scott Higgs from Philadelphia and Adina Gordon from Burlington, VT. Both are experts at calling American contra dances and English country dances, and we look forward to a wonderful mix of dances every day. Our roster of amazing musicians includes Andrew and Noah Van Norstrand, Eden MacAdam-Somer, Rachel Bell, Dave Wiesler, John Devine, Sam Bartlett, and Josh Burdick.

During mornings at camp, there's lots of dancing and classes for ages 2 and up. Twice daily, there are gatherings where stories, songs, talents, and much laughter are shared. And there's also time during the day for nature walks, swimming, canoeing, and hanging out with friends. Adults and teenagers enjoy marvelous evening dances and fabulous after-dance activities - dance parties, pub singing, cabaret, and more. The last full day of camp is show and tell time, and we celebrate our wonderful week together with a big parade, a pool party, and dancing, dancing, dancing. 

It all adds up to a wonderful week of connecting with traditions and rituals, with a culture of participation and involvement that's truly contagious. Come join in the fun!
