Arts and Crafts
The Arts and Crafts building provides campers with a wide variety of activities to choose from each day.  From sitting on the dock weaving a basket to working on the back porch doing stained glass, girls can continue to develop skills they already know as well as learn new skills.  Each summer the talented arts counselors each bring new skills, as well as the tried true: jewelry making, weaving, beading, painting and sketching, pottery and so much more.  A camper's imagination is the only limitation in this very creative department!

Photography
Hive has moved into the world of digital photography.  We provide Hivers with small digital cameras (we discourage campers from bringing their own) that are used each day around camp to take a variety of different pictures.  Campers take and enhance beautiful nature shots as well as pictures of friends, activities and special surprises.  A photo display of camper work is proudly displayed over Show Weekend.

Gymnastics
Hive has a beautiful building called the Green House where gymnastics happens every day.  The variety of equipment: high and low beams, vaults, mini tramps, floor mats and more, meet the needs of girls at many different skill levels.  Different dance classes also take place in this beautiful building.  Girls can work toward individual goals as well as working together to do a performance for the entire camp.  The thrill of soaring over a vault for the first time can be just the confidence booster some girls need to begin the all important journey of self discovery.

Performing Arts
The Comb is home to our performing arts department.  Each summer during the first half of camp, all campers have the opportunity to try out for and be a part of a full scale performance for parents and campers to enjoy over Show Weekend.  From being on stage to helping with sets and stage management, there is something for everyone if they want to be a part of the show.  The safe and fun community that is created at camp provides all campers with the comfort of taking a risk to being on stage for maybe the first time.  It also allows those campers with drama skills to continue to grow and learn new skills in the area of acting.  There are also many opportunities for campers to be a part of a small skit, learn some improvisational skills and work on any number of other acting skills.

Music
Music and singing is at the heart of the Hive experience for every camper and counselor.  We sing in the dining room, during morning assembly and you never know when you might be serenaded by a group of canoers.  From loud, big times to quiet reflective time, music and song finds its way into all our hearts at Hive.
