Arts & Crafts

Arts & Crafts has its own building we call the Deco Shack. At Camp Woodhaven, we typically hire a student who is studying Art at the college level to be our Arts & Crafts specialist. Many of these students have a double major of Art and Education and are planning on a career as an Art Teacher in the public schools.

Our Arts & Crafts specialist brings out camper’s creative potential. All our Arts & Crafts projects are related to the theme of the week and vary in difficulty depending on the age of the camper.
