Camp Create for ages 13+ features the fascinating culture of ancient Egypt and Ottoman Turkey through the arts. Working side-by-side with professional artists, participants see the world with new eyes and appreciate how connected all people are no matter what period of time they live in or where they live. Youth create art works inspired by ancient Egypt and Turkish traditions. They use a variety of art materials and develop new art skills and techniques. Youth participate in 3 different classes daily over 4 days. 

Camp Create participants may apply for an internship to work with artists who are teaching in the younger children's 2-week camp, Passport to Egypt and Turkey. Interns receive a small stipend. Learn more.
