CERAMICS & POTTERY

Campers who want to create art with clay will learn a lot this summer! You'll be sculpting, hand building, throwing pots, firing clay, and glazing to your heart’s content. The Ceramics Building is equipped with 6 wheels, 2 kilns and more than 6,000 lbs of clay! Let’s have FUN!

T-SHIRT FACTORY

The T-Shirt Factory is where your fashion creativity will be let loose! Campers learn silk screening techniques, tie dyeing styles, batiking and fabric painting methods and even create new fashions and designs. We've had campers outfit their entire cabins with cutting-edge t-shirts and other campwear items produced in the T-Shirt Factory.

WOODWORKING

Our woodworking studio is fully equipped and ready to tackle the wildest woodworking project you can think of! In the past camper artists have made chairs, game tables, and everything from mail boxes and clocks to napkin holders and bird houses.

ROCKETRY

Campers design, build, and launch model rockets throughout the summer! The work of designing and building the rocket is only part of the fun. Successfully launching the rocket is a real thrill!
