Our
Creative Arts
The Creative Arts program at White Pine is highly diverse and offers campers the opportunity to learn a wide range of creative activities. Each activity is run by skilled artists that take pride in their medium and are able to teach and inspire campers to express themselves in a variety of ways. Our high quality facilities and materials allow campers to make incredible individual and group projects such as furniture, jewelry, chess boards, glass mosaics, photo calendars and sculptures. The pride campers take in their work is easy to see when the buses are loaded with these special projects to take home at the end of the summer.
ARTS & CRAFTS
Our Arts and Crafts building is set back in the woods, surrounded by trees, with a fire place and wrap around porch. This serene setting allows for the campers creativity to flow. Campers make incredible projects such as puppets, candles, print making, pillows, and stuffed animals. Campers can also join clubs, such as the drawing or painting club. Clubs allow for more in-depth instruction to further develop skills in the area.
POTTERY
Our spectacular new pottery barn, located in the center of camp, is a place where campers will learn amazing techniques such as hand building, wheel throwing, and raku. This exciting art form is taught by highly talented staff. The quality of materials allows campers to see amazing finishes on their pieces of work. Sushi sets, coil pots, wind chimes, masks and mugs are just some of the incredible projects campers create each summer. “Midnight pottery” is one of the special programs in this area where cabins can go to the barn after dark and create their projects by candle light!
GLASS
From pendants to mosaic framed mirrors, your imagination is the only thing that limits what you can make out of glass. The amazing artists that work with glass teach the campers many different glass-building techniques. Campers are always amazed at what they create in glass. Beautiful projects such as jewelry, mobiles, plaques, table tops, sports team name plates, and many more!
WOODWORKING
Woodworking is extremely popular at camp. Campers design and create projects that include cabinets, birdhouses, signs, toy cars, and sports equipment. Our team of highly skilled and friendly staff teach campers all about carpentry and supervise them directly in the proper and safe use of tools. Whether campers want to make a table for their room or a chessboard for a grandparent, the choices and possibilities are endless.
COPPER ENAMELLING
At copper Enamelling campers work with artists trained in metal and wire working. The high quality materials and equipment allow children create beautiful projects such as jewelry, bowls, or skateboards. Learning this skill is exciting for campers as it is easy to learn and leads to quick, incredible results!

For those campers interested in expanding their skills in this area, professional staff work with campers to create spectacular photographs and videos. Cabins work together to make original videos that they story board, perform, film and edit together. Campers can make photo calendars, postcards, yearbooks, and photo scavenger hunts. The creativity and ideas are endless in the area of photo and video at camp.
