Artists working in all mediums love Paint-Out: collage artists, watercolorists, oil & acrylic painters, knitters, and other media artists. Some artists work on small pieces, but there is space for those working very large. There is a large bulletin board where artists pin their finished work for all to see, and artists enjoy being the first one up.
The camp’s accommodations are brightly painted quaint heated rustic cabins with a bathroom nearby. For a few more dollars, there are cabins with a shared bathroom facility, and accommodations for these are on a first-come-first-served basis with preference given to those who are willing to share.
COSTS: Camp cost is very reasonable no matter which accommodation type you choose. For example, the most popular choice is the “full 4-day camp, Standard cabin, and with meals” and is $334.00. There are also options to attend camp for fewer days or to attend camp and find accommodations elsewhere. While planning, note the Cancellation Policy, below
