Arts & Crafts and other Creative Arts

Every camper enjoys participating in our arts program. In addition to our popular Arts & Crafts classes, we also offer Drawing, which covers multiple drawing and painting techniques. Other creative arts classes change a bit every summer, but have historically included digital or film photography, knitting, and cooking classes.

Welcome to “The Beehive”

Arts & Crafts classes have always been a favorite part of the camp experience. For almost all girls, there is nothing like an uninterrupted hour or so of concentration on a serious, but not too serious, art project in the relative calm of “The Beehive.” One of the best parts of a crafts project, though, is its central location – the Beehive is situated at one of the camp’s crossroads. Senior campers pass by on their way to the river, and just across the way, tennis classes are almost always in full swing.

Whatever the project, our instructors work individually with each camper to uncover and nurture their skills. Art projects change a bit every summer, but can include everything from sketching and painting, tie-dyeing, bracelet making, and pottery.
