Methow Arts Summer Camp

Explore your creativity in these camps led by the artists & writers of Methow Arts.
Each week is themed around a different medium of expression:

Natural Dyes & Textiles | Clay & Sculpture | Printmaking | Poetry & Creative Writing

Time inside creating will be balanced by time outside being inspired by our surroundings & taking local field trips.
In addition to 4 weeks of programming for younger students, we’re also offering a week-long half-day high school & middle school writing workshop.

financial aid is available for summer programs - for more information, email: info@methowarts.org
