May 18-21, 2023

The Adult Arts & Crafts Camp is getting ready for its third year at Camp Westminster on Higgins Lake! Please plan to arrive Thursday evening (May 18); we will start creating that night and for the following three days.

​

We have planned some fun classes for this year! New this year:

​

• Fabric collage greeting cards for yourself or as Christmas cards;

• Fabric & Mixed Media wall hangings using fabric image transfers and free hand stitching;

• Sand cast candles with driftwood pieces or just pressed designs in the sand;

• A new quilt design for a group project that will be donated to the Linus Project for kids who have experienced trauma;

• Wood & glass outdoor hanging pieces made with marbles, glass globs, and fused glass pieces;

• Metalwork candle holders and sculptures, learning to use some new tools to bend and drill holes in metal pieces;

• Coasters with decoupage using images from magazines or tissue paper; and,

• Nature photography to make a promotional calendar.

 

Plus some traditional favorites: glass fusing for jewelry pieces, sewing quilt squares, tote bags, table runners, and pillows.

​

This year we will also be working on a group project preparing a mural on the back wall of the tennis courts. We will outline a design that campers can paint color into this summer as an arts & crafts project. The design will be based on the Higgins Lake area’s animals, bugs, and plants.

​

There are many fun things to create a fun-filled summer for the campers and ourselves! Won’t you please join us and invite a friend to come too! The food is excellent, the company fabulous, and a weekend up at Camp Westminster, who could ask for anything more?

​

Plan to arrive Thursday evening ready to get crafting! All meals are provided starting with Friday breakfast through lunch on Sunday. Please bring a sleeping bag, toiletries, and a towel. Your fee covers lodging, meals, and all craft materials.
