This year, Enchanted Hills Camp continues its specialty Makers Camp for adult campers, featuring the return of our beloved Music and Woodworking programs and an exciting new Cooking track! Each track offers campers the chance to dive deeply into a creative skill area while connecting with others who share their passions.
During the day, participants will focus on their chosen craft; making music, shaping wood, or creating culinary delights. In the evenings, everyone comes together for shared meals, campfires, and classic EHC traditions. The week culminates in a Makers Showcase, where each group shares the results of their creativity: songs from the stage, projects from the shop, and tasty treats from the kitchen.
Music Camp: The Music Camp session is designed for blind or low-vision adult campers with at least intermediate musical skills ready to refine their craft and collaborate with peers. Participants should be able to play or sing confidently and have a working knowledge of chords, scales, tuning, and instrument care. Instruments can include (but aren’t limited to) guitar, ukulele, percussion, voice, and other acoustic instruments. This session will be led by EHC Enrichment Area Leader Masceo Williams. Space is limited, and admission requires a letter of recommendation or phone interview.
Woodworking Camp: Led by our Master Craftsman Joe Perez, the Woodworking Camp offers a hands-on, immersive retreat for blind and low-vision adults who already have some basic woodworking knowledge and a desire to grow their skills. This session is ideal for those who feel comfortable with foundational tools and concepts but are eager to learn new techniques, explore new materials, and gain confidence in the shop. Set in EHC’s newly revitalized woodshop, the week blends guided instruction, technique sharing, and time for personal projects—alongside a collaborative group build that allows campers to create something meaningful together. Beyond the shop, participants enjoy shared meals, relaxation, and traditional camp activities while building connections within a supportive community of makers.
Cooking Camp: The new Cooking Camp invites participants to roll up their sleeves, explore their senses, and discover the art of cooking from scratch. Each day centers around a theme or signature dish—like quiche, tamales, or pasta—highlighting new techniques and flavors. Campers learn practical kitchen safety, food preparation, and creative presentation skills while gaining confidence and independence in the kitchen.
