About Artists and Makers Camp

Artists and Makers Camp is a community building event for participants to learn new crafts and skills outdoors in a beautiful, picturesque environment. Students and instructors have the opportunity to camp together at the folk school and everyone leaves with memories, skills and completed creations.

Schedule

Campers are invited to arrive Friday to set up camp and settle in. On Saturday, everyone will dive into their chosen courses. Each course will take place outdoors in a different part of the property. Register for your courses here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served on Saturday. We will serve wood-fired pizza in the outdoor pizza oven on Saturday evening for everyone to enjoy. On Sunday, students have the opportunity to work with their instructors to finish up their projects. Campers may take their time packing up and head out whenever they are ready on Sunday. 

Pricing


The registration cost for the whole weekend or both Saturday class sessions is a base price of $175. There is also the option for half day registration, either the morning or the afternoon session only. If an instructor has an additional materials fee, it will be listed in the class description and added to the price when you book your classes. Full day registration includes 2 classes, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, bonus mini workshop(s), and breakfast on Sunday if you choose to camp. Half day registration includes lunch for the morning session and dinner for the evening session.

  • What if I can’t attend all three days?

    You are welcome to attend all three days and camp on-site (see lodging options below) or treat this as a day trip and arrive Saturday for your chosen courses. You can register for the full day Saturday and attend two courses or you can register for a half day and only attend one course. Please plan to stay for lunch or dinner on Saturday if you can!

  • We offer the opportunity for instructors and students to camp onsite for $10 per night. You may camp both Friday and Saturday night or Saturday night only.

    Campers may arrive on Friday in the late afternoon or evening. We will have an informal meet and greet around the fire once everyone is settled in.

    Participants also have the option to forgo the camping and just take part in the classes and meals on Saturday. Come early on Saturday and enjoy breakfast and get to know your fellow students!
