Arts and Crafts

Jewelry
"Diamonds (or beads) are a girl’s best friend!" - Campers learn the basic techniques for making jewelry using bead-work, string and foil, and brass and copper wire and sheeting.

Photography
"A picture is worth a thousand words!" - This is open to campers ages 11 and older. Photography focuses on taking quality pictures of the natural environment. Black and white film is used, and the campers learn the developing and printing processes. We provide the cameras for this activity.

Stained Glass
"Sun catchers, boxes, & windows!" - This is open to campers ages 12 and older. They learn soldering techniques for connecting glass pieces. Beginners work with straight edges while there are more intricate projects available for advanced learners.

Wood-shop
"Knock on wood!" - Campers make trays, bird houses, and other decorative items which can then be painted and finished. They work with various soft and hard woods, and use hand tools, electric sanders, and IF QUALIFIED (and with the help and supervision of staff) power sanders and jig or band saws.
