Cloud Mountain Arts Camp

Welcome, friend! Cloud Mountain Arts Camp is an arts-focused camp for kids and teens with multiple sessions (dates below). We offer a day camp with an optional sleepover for 8-12-year-olds and a teen immersion sleepaway for 13-17-year-olds. Our vision is for all kids to feel the warmth of connection, inclusion, and friendship THROUGH creative expression!

At Cloud Mountain Arts Camp, we want campers to spend their days immersed in making things, seeing what they can create, and experiencing the thrill of bringing their imaginations to life. Our goal is for kiddos to end their day at Cloud Mountain feeling inspired and proud of their efforts, with tangible art they made as proof!

Note: To ensure a super high-quality experience, Day Program enrollment is capped at twelve campers and the Teen Immersion is capped at ten per session. Deposits (see below) will hold your camper's spot. Email Meg if you are interested in being put on a waiting list for full sessions in the event of cancelations.

Our Story

Cloud Mountain Arts Camp's home, Sweet Pea Farm, is a very special place (see location below) for our family. It is where our daughter, Juniper, was a camper and ultimately a Junior Counselor for seven glorious summers! We loved Sweet Pea Farm Camp and its creator, Ms. Patti, and we love this land, so when the opportunity arose to run a program here, we jumped on it!

Meg Winnecour, Camp Director, has been a working artist and art educator for over 30 years. Meg left her beloved role at Hanger Hall School in 2023 to start her own business, Cloud Collective Residency, where she teaches creativity workshops, provides 1-1 mentorship to emerging and established artists and creators of all kinds, hosts long-term creative residents, and leads art-focused retreats in Provence, France. She has run arts-focused summer camps for many summers because she loves helping kids discover and explore their creativity. Feel free to email Meg at cloudcollectiveresidency@gmail.com should you have any additional questions.

Josh and Juniper Winnecour are part of Meg's trusted support team. Josh is currently a school nurse, CPR/First Aid Instructor and has been a Registered Nurse and Outward Bound instructor for over 25 years. Juniper is a high school student who will be one of several counselors in the Day Camp and a participant in the teen immersion before she leaves us for her own summer program at North Carolina School for the Arts!

LOCATION

We're located in Marshall, NC on over 25 + acres of private pasture and forest surrounding our creativity and making hub. We will base our camp out of Sweet Pea Farm's historic barn (with many updates) and a cheerful modern farmhouse. Sweet Pea Farm is 13 minutes from downtown Marshall, NC. We recommend setting up a carpool with camp buddies!
