These are small groups (generally 5 to 10 campers per group). Each camper will choose a group to be in for the entire week and meet with your group every morning.

(group from a previous year for example) Well Played (the games group) - Heather Monson

Ready for some friendly competition?
Take time for laughter, mental challenges and social bonding. We will learn new board games, new card games, revisit old favorites and may also enjoy some lawn games on nice days.

An assortment of games will be available, with instruction provided. Games will be easy to moderate difficulty to learn and have a variety of themes and mechanics. Both competitive and cooperative games will be included. Outdoor games will be classics like croquet, bocce, horseshoes, etc.

A typical morning includes:

• A check in
• Selection of game(s). Depending on the size of the group, we may play multiple simultaneous games.
  Instruction and game play.

Feel free to bring a favorite game to share with the group.
Bring reading glasses and/or magnifying glass/ap to read small print, etc.

(group from a previous year for example) You do not have to be good! (Or, do you?!) - Carol and Robert Hughes

This will be a group that explores individuals' concepts of what it is to "be good" and "not to be good".   

A typical morning in this group may include:

• A time limited check-in, then determining which members need processing time after check-in. Members give support to one another and offer suggestions only if someone requests those.
• Discussion of emotional issues are welcomed, as well as having fun with one another.
• Facilitation of group members' desires/needs for each morning, helping w/ consensus. There's no pre-conceived agenda/exercises/assignments.

(group from a previous year for example) Mosaic stained glass plus  - Don Spencer

Make a stained glass panel that lets light thru, a framed mirror, or a 3 dimensional piece. We will learn basic techniques of cutting and breaking glass, and some ideas of design. No Soldering, no lead!

This way of working with stained glass leaves more room for improvising and creativity than traditional leaded glass. Don will provide glass and tools to use, bring your ideas and Don will bring choices for art work.

For this group: You can bring your own designs, and even work in a different size or in 3-D, if you O.K. it with Don first. Beyond the basics, it’s possible to do 3 dimensional projects, like candle holders or lamp shades, or flat panels of different shapes on wood; if you bring your own base piece in the shape you want. If you are planning on doing your own design or a 3-D piece or incorporating non-glass elements, please send your ideas to Don at donspencer43@gmail.com before camp so he can advise on suitability. If you are looking for project ideas or to learn more about mosaic work, Don recommends The Mosaic Artist's Bible by Teresa Mills and available from Amazon.

A typical morning in this group may include:

• check-in
• teaching if needed
• work on individual projects

Fees: There is a $20 material cost, payable to Don. 

(group from a previous year for example) Out Going group - Mark Monson
