The Musician’s Experience
Wildacres Retreat has hosted music groups whose skills range from beginner to professional. Musician groups have included dulcimers, flutes, oboes, bassoons, drums, and saxophones, just to name a few. The retreat offers a range of spaces that such groups find fit their needs perfectly. Musicians staying at Wildacres have the opportunity to really get away from outside distractions and focus on their music through workshops and opportunities to practice with other musicians. All stays at Wildacres include lodging, family-style meals in our dining hall, use of program facilities, and full access to our extensive hiking trail system.
