Welcome artists, writers, photographers, creatives

Here at Mill Creek, we want to support those who think creatively, those who care generously and those who give beyond themselves. We can give back to the givers by providing a quiet place to think, retreat and create. In return, we ask that each artist leave a bit of themselves behind.

Our Artist in Residence program is a chance for one or more artists, writers or photographers to spend 2-4 days at camp free of charge to engage solely in their craft. We will begin taking applications NOW closing on October 28th and artist stays will occur on November 13-15 or December 11-13 (with optional weekdays). 

• Must be 21 + yrs old.
• Absolutely No Smoking
• Sorry, no spouses, children or pets as roommates during the Residency.
• Applications close at 11:59pm on Wednesday, October 28, 2020.
• Residents are announced online via Instagram on Halloween.
• Residents receive a no-cost, 2-4 day stay in specified cabins.

With feedback from past artists, we have adjusted a few things for this year's residency. 

• We are now offering 2 weekend dates with an additional 1-2 weekdays.
• Artist Groups are allowed to apply.
• "Give Back" projects for camp are specified and more detailed.

This year, we are asking artists to contribute to specific artistic goals at camp.
