- 3 - Ceramics Programs (hand building and 16 wheels)
- 1 - Woodworking program
We are not a kit-based art program. We want our campers to have a full creative experience and work with a wide variety of mediums.
Our ceramic facility has indoor and outdoor teaching spaces, 4 modern kilns, 16 wheels, and plenty of storage space. Instructors also have an indoor studio with work spaces and plenty of supply and project storage space. The building was designed to be a ceramics building. Each art deck also has separate sinks, water fountains, bathrooms, and plenty of extra counter space for the specialist to work and plan. The inside of each art building has 12ft ceilings, baker's racks for project storage and art supply storage, extra attic space and plenty of room to house everything needed for our specialists to really do something special at their art areas.
We have an art coordinator who is a full time staff member. They are researching art projects throughout the year so the projects and supplies are already set for our specialists. Each art program has a set curriculum. Although we always welcome your ideas you will not have to worry about flipping through catalogs and trying to figure out how much to order. We will take care of that for you. How you teach each project is up to you. The art coordinator is there for you all summer to help when needed and to make sure you have everything you need.
Every art program has an assistant to help you run your program.
