Summer Sewing Day Camp
Discover the joy of sewing as a creative outlet as well as a way to make useful items for yourself or gifts for others. If you choose, you can even sell your items at our local Adrian Community Market or enter them in the Malheur County Fair.
Campers will master sewing machine basics and complete fun projects. We will offer six dates throughout the summer and have a different project for each date. You can pick and choose which projects you would like to attend. Sessions for each date are broken into age groups and will run two hours long, including a snack break. There will be an additional, optional session available from 3 pm to 5 pm each camp day for all participants to complete unfinished projects and get some extra sewing time. Sewing machines will be available for use. Thread, fabric, and notions will be provided.

Summer Photo Camp
Summer photo camp is an exciting opportunity for incoming middle school students to learn photography from two veteran photographers. If you’re interested in photography, and want to learn how to shoot something besides a selfie, join us at the Adrian Summer Photography Camp! The camp will be educational, but it will also be fun.
The camp will take 10 students who will be sixth, seventh or eighth graders this fall and spend two months learning more about photography – each student will be assigned their own camera to use during the time they’re in the camp! We’ll explore making pictures of people and documenting life in Adrian. You’ll also enter a picture in the Malheur County Fair, and display your artwork at the Adrian Community Market! By the end of the summer, you’ll be a photographic pro! (Well, maybe not. But you’ll know a lot more about being a photographer!)

Disc Golf Camp
Come join us for four evenings of fun-filled activity and learning at the Adrian Disc Golf Camp. Disc golf is considered one of the few individual lifetime sports. It can be played by school age children and adults alike. It is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It can be enjoyed alone or with larger groups of friends and family. There are more than 8,500 courses in the United States alone and, by the end of camp, Adrian will have a course as well!
Adrian Disc Golf Camp will provide participants with the opportunity to learn throwing technique, strategy and the scoring of the game, in a fun and safe setting. Campers will spend the evenings developing skills while playing and competing in various skill & character building activities. Participants and families will have the opportunity to enjoy a disc golf tournament on the final evening of camp with prizes to be awarded.
This camp is free to all participants (limited to 20 per session). Each participant attending all 4 evenings (perfect attendance) will receive a 3-disc starter set valued at $29 at the end of camp.
