A place to be yourself.

ARTS

Special Arts

Learn to sketch, draw, and paint! You can purchase your own paddle (additional cost) and paint it at special arts. Taught by experienced art teachers, the campers absolutely love the chance to explore and show off their creativity. The projects they do are amazing!

Drama

Musical productions are staged at the end of each session with campers creating the props, costumes and sets. The campers audition for parts, and there is both a two-week play and a month play. Musicals are selected based on how large the cast is - the more in the cast, the better. Camp Oconto has presented the musicals Annie, Beauty and the Beast, Grease, and Shrek, to name a few!

Dance

A great combination of the athletic and the arts; dance at Oconto is a very popular activity. Aerobics and modern dance combine exercise and enjoyment. From beginners to the more accomplished performers, Oconto is the perfect place to take your steps. The dancers often perform at the weekly concerts along with other aspiring entertainers.

Pottery

Pottery is a great way for campers to put their creative minds to work. Campers can work at a new project each day, or they can continue to craft a project already underway. We have two pottery wheels where campers take turns making bowls and vases. The pieces are heated in the kiln, and campers finish their works of art with paints and glazes.

Arts & Crafts

We offer an extensive visual arts program including: drawing and painting, beadwork, macramé, silk-screening, jewellery-making, tie-dyeing, and t-shirt painting. Campers always return home with fabulous creative works of art.
