Creator Camp week

A week on the island to make the thing you keep putting off.

Sunday afternoon to Friday morning. You pick a track, sleep in a canvas tent among the trees, eat three meals a day at a long table, and spend your days in the studios with people who are making things too.

Adults, and families on open weeks

The week, plainly.

You arrive on Sunday afternoon with something you want to make, or only the itch to make something. By Monday morning you are in a track with a lead who does this for a living and a handful of people who are as far in as you are.

Days go to the work. Meals are at one long table, evenings are around the fire, and the shore is a short walk from the studios. Friday morning everyone shows what they made, then the shuttle goes back to Comox.

Film, music, writing, visual art, and code all sit in the same week. Nobody is the main event; the cross-pollination is the point.

The fee

From CA$1,995 per person, everything included

Pay a CA$500 deposit or the whole fee at registration. A person reviews every registration within a day or two, and if we cannot accept yours, everything you paid is refunded.

Pick a track

One track each. Meals and evenings are shared.

Vibe coding

Build a real thing with today's tools, from a blank page on Sunday to something you can show on Friday, led by camp staff.

Filming and editing

Shoot on the shore and in the forest, then cut it in the film studio, led by camp staff.

Art outdoors

Paint, draw, and print outside, with the art studio for the wet and the messy, led by camp staff.

Yoga and movement

Morning practice by the water and movement work through the day, led by camp staff.

What to expect

Start with the place, then the work.

One week, one track

Vibe coding, filming and editing, art outdoors, or yoga and movement. Mornings and afternoons go to your track; meals and evenings are shared.

The rhythm

Sunday afternoon arrival and introductions, Monday to Thursday in the studios, and a Friday-morning close with informal sharing before an 11:00 AM departure.

Families on open weeks

A Creator Camp week starts open to adults and families. Bring your children, keep them with you, and share a tent.

Creator in Residence

One invited resident on every Creator Camp week.

Every adult week hosts one Creator in Residence: a working artist, maker, or storyteller who comes for the week, works beside the campers, and shares what they are making. Residents are invited, and you may also put your own name forward.

The residency is not a track and does not change your fee. It is one more person at the table whose work you will get to see up close.

Send the team a note.

Timing, fit, access needs, or what you want to make. You do not need to write before you register; a person reviews every registration either way.
