How a Week Runs
guest arrival from 4:00 PM, orientation, welcome activities, and introductions.
core teaching days with guided sessions, studio time, and participant support.
closing morning, informal sharing, and guest departure by 11:00 AM.
site reset, day programming, and staff transition.
Disciplines
Story, camera, and edit — from script to a finished short, with a working film studio.
Writing, recording, and production in a professional studio built for sound.
Painting, ceramics, print, and mixed media — hands in the materials, daily.
Movement, theatre, and live showcase, drawing on the island’s performing community.
Shared tables, seasonal cooking, and the craft of feeding a creative community.
Design and build a working app or site — creative making with modern tools.
Engineering, designing, prototyping, and publishing — turning ideas into things that work.
Cohorts are multidisciplinary on purpose. A filmmaker may score a session with a musician; a writer may turn an idea into a working site alongside a coder. These unexpected collaborations are the point — and they tend to outlast the week by years.
Rustic canvas-tent lodging, set close to the shared creative spaces.
Seasonal cooking and shared tables — a core part of how the camp connects.
Access to the film, music, art, and digital studios throughout your stay.
Daily programming and guidance from faculty who are working professionals.
Shuttle transportation from Nanaimo or Comox airport and the ferry, so you can leave the car behind.
Day tours and field trips exploring Denman Island — its shoreline, trails, and creative community.
Sessions run July 22 through December 10, 2027. Pick the week that fits and book it directly.
