Fine Arts at Vega gives campers space to explore, experiment, and enjoy making something of their own. Our two art studios offer a wide range of materials and equipment for drawing, painting, sewing, jewelry making, ceramics, and more. With guidance from our counselors, girls can try something new, build on familiar skills, and follow their creativity.
Drawing and painting bring opportunities to sketch and create with graphite, colored pencils, acrylics, and watercolors, both in the studios and outdoors. In sewing, campers learn to use a sewing machine and explore the basics of costume and fashion design. Arts and crafts projects include beading, hand sculpting, crochet, knitting, and other creative ways to work with different materials.
Jewelry making includes loom-beaded bracelets and metal jewelry. In ceramics, campers explore hand-building and, as they progress, working on the pottery wheel, glazing, and kiln-fired pieces. Stained glass and mosaics offer older campers another way to create with color and pattern. Activities and projects are suited to campers’ ages and experience, with room to grow over the years.
Whether a camper is discovering a favorite art form or returning to one she already loves, Fine Arts is a place to share ideas, practice patience, and take pride in the creative process. There is time to learn, make mistakes, try again, and enjoy creating alongside friends.
