Arts & Ecology Camp
at the Desert of Maine

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. Some need-based scholarships available.
