 Arts
& Crafts
Learn the
latest way to Tie-Dye your socks (bring an extra pair, just in
case!) Or, make a lanyard key-chain for your older brother who has
to stay home for summer school. The Arts & Crafts program develops
the creative side of our campers. Campers are encouraged to
experiment with different type of crafts not taught in a normal
school art program. The results are seen around camp - from the
cover of the newspaper, to the backdrop in the camp drama
production. |
 Woodworking
Counselors work with campers to teach and operate power equipment
such as the jig saw, sanding belts, a drill press, or a wood lathe.
Campers learn to design and build projects from scratch or they may
use examples from summers past to bring home as a souvenir from
camp. Whether it is a "specially designed" ping-pong paddle or a
coat rack for dad's upcoming birthday, woodworking at camp makes
each project fun and rewarding. |

Ceramics
Fire up
the kiln and get your hands dirty! You are only limited by your
imagination when it comes to the Ceramix Shack. We have kick and
mechanical wheels, a state-of-the-art kiln, and enough clay and
glazes for almost any project. You can even work with the Video
program to produce the next great claymation feature. |
 Video Filming
If
you have ever wanted to make movie, you can do it at Awosting.
Campers can learn to be the next Oscar-winning director or
cinematographer. Campers learn how to edit on our Mac computers
using Final Cut Pro or iMovie. A mini-documentary is shot every two
weeks and sent home as a reminder of all the fun had at camp.

Photography
Lights out! In addition to digital photography, we operate a fully
functioning dark room for black and white photography. Are your
pictures good enough to make the camp newspaper or the weekly update
to the Web Site? Campers learn picture composition and film
development. Create a scrapbook of pictures to look back on in the
winter months - remembering the fun you had in your cabin, on the
ball fields, or on the weekly campout! |
|
Journalism
The camp newspaper, the
Bugle,
is written by and for campers. Campers learn how to
track a story, follow leads, and what it takes to put together a
weekly publication. Every camper then writes a letter home on the
back of their newspaper each week - so you can share in the
activities and events that happened in camp the previous week. |
Music
Pick up
one of our guitars and start strumming! Whether you already play,
or have never plucked a note, our music program will have you
jamming in no time. You can bring your own guitar or bass if you
would like. Get a band together and play for a talent show or get
into the lab and make your first demo. |
