Imagine
Golden reflections in the morning on Spanish Creek
Imagine being fully inspired and receptive to the healing powers of nature in the former home of the Maidu Indians. You are enjoying a week expanding your creativity and making art.
You are surrounded by other creative adults who are giving themselves the gift of time. No shopping, cooking or cleaning to worry about; you need not even get in your car to drive anywhere.
Classes meet along the sparkling Spanish Creek or nearby, in the midst of the fragrance of oak and pine trees and a profusion of wildflowers.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional artist, Art Camp provides an opportunity to refine your skills, pick up new ideas or mediums, and benefit from the expertise, support and enthusiasm of both instructors and other participants.
Take a next step in your art or try something new. You receive quality instruction and feedback from seasoned professional artists who are dedicated to their arts.
Feather River Art Camp is the perfect joyful blend of fine art, creativity, nature, restoration, fun and camaraderie.

How Art Camp Works
You Pick One Class as your Main Class
When you register, you sign up for one daily morning class that you will focus on during the week. This class meets daily with the same instructor and group of students, providing the opportunity to learn and create a project/projects in depth in that subject.
You also pick a second choice class in event that your first choice class is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.
Afternoon and Evening One-Time Workshops
Every afternoon and evening, before and after dinner, there are optional two-hour, one-time workshops in each of the other disciplines that you can take or not take at your discretion. By the end of the week you will have created several of these projects.
All classes, workshops, meals and accommodations are included.
Friends Arrangements
“Muse” Option
Some art campers bring friends, spouses or partners whom they join in the afternoons. Adult Art Camp offers a special group rate for Adult Art Camp relatives or friends who are not enrolled in art classes in Art Camp. See “Muse” rates in the registration section. Muses typically read books, relax, explore, work on their computers, write or ride bikes over extensive bike trails in the region. Three complimentary arts workshops are given with their registration.
Local Residents Option
If you live in the Quincy area, or are from out of town but prefer to stay in nearby lodging, and do not wish to stay for the overnight part of Art Camp, you can still register for an arts or crafts class. The fee includes all classes, afternoon and evening workshops and all meals for each day.
For Teens
Ages 13 to 17
Teens may enroll in adult art classes with a parent or guardian present in camp.
Other Activities
Swimming*, hiking, horseback riding (for a fee), river tubing, bike riding, archery, excursions to river swimming spots or into town, ping-pong and of course lots of ART are some of the extra activities that our campers do in their leisure time.
*In years when the water in the creek is too high and the current too strong, swimming may not be an option. We have no control over mother nature so it is decided on a year by year basis. As much as we all love to swim in Spanish Creek it may or may not be available depending on the water levels in the creek. When swimming is OK, a lifeguard will be available in the afternoon during swimming hours at the camp beach.
