The scope of art summer camps can vary tremendously: some art camps focus on a particular modality while others may offer a wide variety of art forms to engage such as: fine arts, dance, theatre, music, visual art, photography, creative writing, etc. While instruction and attention to technique are normally offered at an art camp, the joy of creation is often the emphasized and embraced.

2. Ekone Ranch Summer Camps - A one-of-a-kind camp program, emphasizing natural horsemanship, nature-based activities, positive peer relationships, and a warm, welcoming camp community. Small sessions with a max of 24 campers and a camper/staff ratio of 6:1 or better.

Since 1986, Ekone Ranch offers a one-of-a-kind camp program on 1060 acres of canyonlands, forests and meadows near the Columbia Gorge. Our residential, co-ed camp program features small groups of no more than 24 children per session and a 6:1 camper/staff ratio or better. Horse camp sessions emphasize the special relationship between children and horses. Campers spend many hours each day with our wonderful horses, grooming, learning groundwork, practicing in the arena, and going on long trail rides through spectacular country. We ride bareback and western. When not with the horses, campers are engaged in a variety of art projects, nature explorations, swimming, ranch activities and chores.

Our garden-fresh, from-scratch food is a highlight of the camp experience (many a camper has learned to love their vegetables in the Yummy Tummy Cafe). Campers sleep in our A-frame longhouse, in tipis, under the stars, or in the hay barn where we listen to the horses breathe all night long.

We offer two special programs with less of an emphasis on horsemanship: Passage for Girls: A Coming-of-Age Journey in Nature, and Homestead Week.

All of our sessions emphasize creating a supportive camp community, healthy peer relationships, and a positive work ethic. Campers have an unforgettable immersion experience in healthy lifestyles, good eating, and great friends. They learn that good work can be great fun, and they come back year after year for more!

Due to our small session size, we are happy to accommodate some children with special needs or dietary considerations--please contact us for more information.

Day Camp

Studio Broadway is a small, relaxed atmosphere, private art studio located on a small farm just outside of beautiful Historic Snohomish, WA. (35 minutes north of Seattle, a couple miles due north of FlowerWorld & Maltby Cafe on Broadway). This wonderful location allows you to enjoy walking the many wonderful shops and restaurants while your child is having a great time creating art & crafts projects! Fun arts and crafts projects, hands-on classes while learning new skills and making new friends! They will experience many aspects of art including; Watercolor, Acrylics, Plaster Art, Collage & Mosaic. Developing artistic skills gives your child the ability to express themselves "outside of the box" which is extremely important to their development. As many public schools no longer provide or offer art classes, my services are even more valuable as I feel every child should have the opportunity to explore, create and enjoy their artistic side!
