Session Info

Perfect for those campers who just can’t get enough of the Ekone craft area, this session will challenge the hands and the creative spirit, as campers interact with a wide variety of material to create beautiful works of art, form, and function.

 

We’ll spend time on the land finding inspiration and natural materials for our craft projects, and campers will also work with weaving and sewing projects, collage, block printing, and nature-based art, and maybe even create a mural together!

​

Sample schedule for Art Camp:

7.00 am:  Rise and shine to greet another beautiful day!

7.30 am:  Set-up crew heads down to the kitchen to help prepare breakfast, feeding crew heads to the barn to feed the animals, and the garden crew harvests some delicious veggies…or maybe some strawberries?!

8.00 am:  Breakfast time at the Yummy Tummy Café!  After breakfast, the clean-up and dishes crews help to tidy the kitchen so we can move on to morning activities.

9.00 am:  Morning Circle, where we all meet to do some stretching and talk about activities for the day

9.30 am – 12.00 pm:  Could vary from time out on the land getting inspired, sketching or painting to beginning a new project such as a mural, weaving, sewing or collage

12.00 pm:  Gather the set-up crew to help get lunch ready

12.30 pm:   Lunch time!

1.30 pm – 3.00 pm:  Ahhh, it’s Siesta time.  Cool off with a swim in the pond, write letters home, read a book, work on a craft project, or take a nap to rest up for some more exciting activities in the afternoon.

3.00 pm – 5.30 pm:  Either time to continue a project from the morning or earlier in the week, take a hike down to the canyon pools for a swim or have a visit from a local artist.

5.30 pm:  Set-up crew heads down to the kitchen

6.00 pm:  Dinner time!  After dinner is a little free time; a great chance to play on the rope swings, work on crafts or watch the beginning of the sunset.

7.00 pm – 8.30 pm:  Time for some evening games, council, or possibly a walk to the canyon

8.30 pm: Head up to the bunkhouse and start brushing teeth and finding pajamas.  After everyone is ready, we’ll read some stories, or maybe do some stargazing outside.

9.30 pm:  Zzzzzz…better get some rest, it’s going to be another awesome day tomorrow.  Sweet dreams!​
