Transylvania students tour southeast KY with KFTC leaders

Students and professors from Transylvania University in Lexington spent a week at Camp Blanton in Harlan County earlier this month.  During their time, they connected with KFTC leaders from all over Harlan, Letcher and Perry counties to learn about the land, culture and people of east Kentucky and beyond. They also spent some time in our Whitesburg KFTC office to screen our 30th anniversary film, I Was There: The first 30 years of KFTC. Below are photos from their experience.
