The Ashokan Center is an outdoor education, conference, and retreat center located in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Schools have used Ashokan's "classroom" of forests, waterfalls, stream-fed ponds, and open meadows for over 40 years. Music camps, blacksmithing conferences, and retreat groups have called Ashokan home while schools are not in residence.
The location was the inspiration for folk musician Jay Ungar's song "Ashokan Farewell", which was used as the theme music for PBS's The Civil War.
