A mid-autumn retreat…
Come to camp abbydid, a grown-up arts retreat inspired by childhood sleep-away camp. During this relaxing 3 day/3 night weekend you will receive a stay in a private in your own private bedroom, enjoy 6 chef-prepared meals, receive instruction in up to 4 enriching creative projects, and participate in our fun, communal ceremonies that open and close the weekend (think silly awards night and scout-inspired bridging).
But most importantly, you will have ample time to catch up on unfinished projects, read a book, go for a hike, take a nap, or whatever else you need to do to reclaim yourself. You will come away with new friends, new skills, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Our capacity is 20 guests.
For the safety and comfort of our guests, camp abbydid is exclusively open to female and non-binary adults.
Our focus has been on the fiber arts, specifically hand work we can do while socializing, but we are now introducing some painting into the mix as well. The workshops we lead this session will include rock painting, shibori (Japanese tie-dye), making t-shirt yarn and crocheting or coiling it into a basket, and canvas bag painting. These activities are appropriate for all skill levels, beginner to experienced, and are always optional. We find these to be meditative, relaxing crafts, embodying the motto “busy hands, happy heart,” and excellent conversation facilitators.
