Drama
Open Auditions!! Actors are wanted for this summer's performances. Campers aid in all aspects of the
performance - from lighting and costume design, to scenery and direction. Whether it is a one man play, or a
musical with our sister camp - Camp Chinqueka - every production is sure to please even the toughest critics.

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
Ceramics 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 Production
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 at the end of the summer.

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.

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.

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!
