Children are like precious pearls; given a safe, nurturing, dynamic environment in which to grow, and learn, they exceed even their own expectations! It is one of my greatest pleasures to observe this phenomena. Their sheer bliss in an activity, their enlightened moments, their unique problem -solving strategies, their natural desire to learn and participate, their total ease in gaining friendships. These are only a few of the many extraordinary characteristics that I am honored to observe and delight in. It is with this amazement and utter respect for children that these camps were born. 

  Another one of my greatest pleasures is developing new art programs for the children each summer. There are so many talented artists, artisans, and teachers who have made these mountains their home. Windsor chair makers, potters, luthiers (instrument makers), landscape painters, basket makers, candle makers, soap makers, blacksmiths, stone carvers... even African dancers and drummers, actors, and directors! The list goes on and on! I pride myself in putting together a stellar program every year! Our summer camp is for kids ages 9 to 18.
