Summer Camp
Desert of Maine Art & Ecology Camp
Discover where nature meets creativity!
Discover where nature meets creativity
Each day, campers will venture into the unique landscape of the Desert of Maine, uncovering its fascinating history, geology, and the remarkable plants and animals that thrive in this sandy terrain.
Inspired by daily explorations, campers will dive into hands-on arts and crafts projects including weaving, jewelry making, 3-D arts, book making, painting, and gardening. Each creation connects back to the desert's natural wonders, transforming observations into artistic expression. The week will end with mini-golf and a showcase of artwork for families and friends.
Scholarships are available.
