HANDICRAFTS At Abbot Lodge

Abbot Lodge is the home of the Handicrafts area at WTC. This is one area you don’t go to for quiet time. Always a hub for creativity, excitement, and activity this is one place where art takes all forms from popsicle sticks, baskets, paints, plasters and bearded guys in straw hats.
The Handicrafts area is the Reservation’s arts and craft center. Scouts can work on a variety of projects in wood, leather, wax, etc. There will be a wide variety of sample projects and kits already assembled that can be used to stimulate creativity. A camp wide project of the week will allow Scouts to blend their talents and create one incredible project for the week. The area provides Scouts every opportunity to express themselves through all type of artwork. The week’s activities culminate in an art show, which provides an opportunity for Scouts to display their work.
