Trip To Timber Ridge - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Timber Ridge is the name of a 200-acre camp in the beautiful Shenandoah Mountains of West Virginia (USA) where the shores of the Cacapon River and the base of the North Mountain meet.From 2006 to 2018 the camp hosted an annual Scottish Weekend and this reel, Trip to Timber Ridge, always featured on the weekend's programme. (With the closing of the camp, the Scottish weekend has relocated to Maryland).
The camp itself was started in 1955 by Fred and Evelyn Greenberg. It was initially called Camp White Mountains but, with the addition of Camp Green Briar, it became Timber Ridge. The founders' vision was to provide a safe environment for children to have exciting experiences.
The Scottish Weekend event was established by a group of Scottish Country Dancers from the Washington DC and Philadelphia area. They aimed to provide the best in live music, quality teaching, good food and "controlled abandon." The first weekend was at Buffalo Gap (West Virginia), in September 1989.
