Art Camp is a unique camp that offers campers from ages 8-15 to come together for one week and hone their artistic skills. Often one of the last camps of the summer, Art Camp gives campers a safe place to find their creative voice while providing a chance to participate in classic camp activities. This week we take a look at folks offering artistic guidance to our campers and learn just how Art Camp tackles having a camp so huge.

One of the longest running camps at Shrine Mont is open to campers of all ages. What started as "Family Conference" is now a full-blown Family Camp and it's perfect for just about everyone.

In the summer of 2016 I shadowed Olivia Bambara, the Explorer's Camp Program Director for a day. I had worked as a Program Director in the past, but half the fun of this podcast is that it was one of the few I've made where I don't have to hear my own voice. So I sought out Olivia who had been working on the Mountain for years and had now grown into the roll of Program Director at they very same camp where she grew up. For some campers that's the dream. Not all get that far, but for the few that do it's a very rewarding adventure. So I want to give a special thanks to Olivia who was kind enough to let me follow her for a day and skilled enough to handle being interviewed while hiking North Mountain. Enjoy!

This summer I was placed in a new role with Senior High Youth Conference, for the duration of their time on the mountain I would serve as Storyteller in Residence. Together we examined how totell the story of SHYC and spread the word about the folks we had marked both on and off the mountain. In this episode of the Camp Cast you'll not only hear from campers, but the many people we met with that week. A special thanks to Julia Burke who gave us permission to use her own reflections about SHYC in this episode.
