NO LANYARDS MADE HERE! 17-day residential “art-immersion” camps for ages 14-16. "Serious Art, Serious Fun" (June 27 - July 13, 2008) includes painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography. "More Art, More Fun"  (July 20 - August 6, 2008) adds comic and children's bookmaking, stop-motion animation & digital filmmaking to the offerings. Rather than doing busy craft projects, we provide a fun, non-competitive environment of high-level fine art instruction, encouragement and support. Students are responsible for designing their own final project. Our goal is to inspire and nurture creativity, enhance art skills, create community, and help students produce a work which is personally significant.
