Wander wooded trails on a crafts hike and find inspiration in the snow-capped peaks or the needle floor of a pine forest. Make and decorate a rain stick. Design and paint a birdhouse. Plop a handful of clay on the pottery wheel and create a ceramic pot. Maybe silver jewelry intrigues you, or making a leather belt or crafting tile mosaics.
If you wish to be original, be yourself.
No camp experience is complete without the opportunity to explore another side of who you are—or feed a passion that’s alive and thriving. The six Cheley craft shops accommodate a wide range of artistic pursuits with all sorts of materials, including wood, clay, watercolor, silver, leather, beads, fabrics, yarn and tile.
I think I've finally found the road less traveled, and it’s a good road.
—Natalie, Cheley camper
The pleasures of hands-on creativity are legendary. Artistic pursuit offers its own kind of excitement and personal satisfaction. Not every stellar experience at Cheley needs to happen outdoors. An afternoon spent at the pottery wheel or in front of a canvas with paintbrush in hand is the perfect complement to our rigorous outdoor program.
