Well, I finally went to sleepaway camp! I spent a wonderful week at Beam Camp in New Hampshire earlier this month. I spent my time as a Domain Guest teaching workshops on bookbinding & beeswax (batik, candles, lip balm, etc.) to kids 7-16, soaking up the camp experience, hanging out at the Art Barn, swimming, exploring, and writing letters. A fun and somewhat frenzied time!
