There are clean and attractive group cabins (room for 200) and space for
tents and campers. Day visitors are encouraged. Our program includes music,
crafts, sporting events, hiking, water sports (there is a great water
park), acting workshops, storytelling, and relaxation. The weekend is
open to all UUs and friends in the Louisville area. The cost for a family
is $55 for the entire weekend and only $10 per adult for the Saturday
programs and meals. A brochure will be available at our Church. Registration
