2026 Art Camp 4 Grownups
Thursday, September 11 to Tuesday, September 15, 2026
Dean: Abbey Chamberlain
This Artist Retreat for adults is truly special! Experienced and novice artists alike have the chance to enjoy a six-day respite from their everyday lives in the splendor of the forest. Taught by talented, passionate, professional artists who build on their lessons over the week, Art-Campers choose one Intensive art module as their 5-day focus. Deepen your artistic experience during afternoon art workshops where the materials are provided for you. Class atmosphere is supportive of the creative process, accommodating all levels of proficiency.
Camp de Benneville Pines is the kind of place you loved as a kid, and appreciate fully as an adult. There are so many activities to enjoy in addition to Art Classes: Hikes, archery, swimming in our crystal clear heated pool, yoga, and relaxing with friends.
Come celebrate 20 years of art and creativity, in the mountains of Southern California!
This is your invitation to step away from the noise, breathe in the pine air, and reconnect with your creative self—surrounded by a community that just gets it.
The result is a week of growth in artistic skill and confidence. Throughout the 6-day camp, art pieces will be shared in a spirit of learning and skill development. The camp concludes with a joyful and celebratory art show on the final morning!
You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind experience!
