Desert of Maine – Center for Art & Ecology Summer Camp
July 14, 2025 @ 9:00 am
Come discover the mysteries of the Desert of Maine, learn about ecology, and make art!
Campers will learn about how the “desert” was created during the Ice Age and unearthed over 100 years ago through farming. We will also explore different ecosystems on the landscape, including a vernal pool teeming with life, wild orchids, fly-eating plants, wild blueberries, and more!
Each day, campers will make art inspired by the landscape. Some art projects will include bookmaking, nature journaling, fiber arts, and natural dyeing. Group games and movement activities will be incorporated throughout the day. July 14-18, 9:00am – 3:30pm. Ages 8-12, $400 Some need-based scholarships available.
