Campers will spend each day in workshops dealing with environmentally centered lessons and activities in visual arts, dance, theatre, and music, and will also work together on a community art project and hear presentations and demonstrations from local artists!

At the end of the week, family and friends are invited to attend the Final Show on Friday night at 5:00 p.m.  This will be an eclectic showcase of everything the campers have learned while at camp!

Both full-day (9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) and early pickup (9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.) sessions are available for age groups 6 – 9, 10 – 12, and 13 – 15 years old.  Full-day sessions are $150; early pickup sessions are $125.

New to the camp this year are feature workshops for 13- to 15-year-old campers.  These workshops will take place from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m., focus on one area of study taught by local professionals, and are $75 per student.  Specialty workshops will take place based upon registration.  Attendees may choose between photography, drama, dance, music, and literary arts.
