23rd Annual CAMP SCRIPPS July 14–17, 2016

Schedule of Events

The linens are standard issue at best, but the food is wonderful!

WHO:Engaging women of every Scripps decade from the ’50s to the present.

WHAT:Workshops and activities led by sister Scripps alumnae Campers to stimulate the mind, body, and soul. Good food, great conversation, and lots of laughter.

WHEN:Thursday, July 14—Sunday, July 17, 2016. You can sign up for one to four days (see page 14).

WHERE:A “room of your own“ in Clark Hall (now completely air-conditioned) or Toll Hall (A/C in the rec room only).

HOW:The motto of Camp Scripps is “Everything possible, nothing required.“ You can attend workshops or let serendipity be your guide: reconnect with old friends, make new friends, or just enjoy the beauty of the campus.

SATURDAY, JULY 16check-in 8:00 – 11:00 a.m.

SUNDAY, JULY 17

Created to benefit Campers who may be experiencing economic difficulties, the Campership Fund is supported entirely from direct donations and revenue from raffle ticket sales.

Raffle tickets can be ordered in advance with registration and will be available throughout Camp.

The raffle drawing will be held during the Grand Finale on Saturday evening.

Through the generosity of sister Campers, the following items have been donated for this year’s Campership Fund Raffle.

1 DRAGONFLY KEEPSAKE BOX Cyndel Podich ’71

This 10" x 10" x 3" black lacquer box has an iridescent red top with mother-of-pearl dragonfly inlays. A gift from the man in her life, Cyndel shares it with the greater Camp community with his blessing—in fact, at his suggestion—considering he had forgotten that he gave her the exact same box two years before! Long a supporter of Camp, he, too, is afflicted by CDC (Compulsive Dragonfly Collecting) on her behalf.

2 A WONDERFUL SET OF 36 HANDMADE CARDS

Eight each (from photos) by Kristin Lynch Douty ’93, and Tempe Johnson Javitz ’71; 10 hand-made marbled paper cards by Sophie Acheson ’71, and 10 marvelous doodled notecards by Veronica Hart Morganhart ’07.

3 ATHABASCAN NATIVE AMERICAN BEADED NECKLACE Dale Reeves Nicholls ’70

This necklace was woven by one of Dale's best friends, Fran Denham, using the split loom technique, and is her modification of her mother’s peacock feather design, which her mother created. Fran is a member of the native Alaskan Aleut tribe. Her mother, Fran Gagnon (also a member of the Aleut tribe) was a noted Alaskan bead artist, and a copy of her peacock necklace is (we think) held in the Smithsonian’s Native American collection.

4 CRYSTAL BEADED NECKLACE WITH MATCHING EARRINGS Debbie Muldower ’91

A local bead shop offers free classes every Friday. Normally the offerings are nice but not worth making a special trip for. However, one week there was the most stunning necklace Debbie had ever seen with crystals woven into shimmering flowers and delicate leaves. The problem?—her kitten was due to get her spaying stitches out at the exact same time as the class! She called the vet. She didn’thave any other openings. Then she called the beadshop, begging for the pattern, and was told that she could only have it if she came to the session.Finally, they took pity on her and told her where shecould find the pattern online. That was the start of a major love affair with Deborah Roberti and her website www.aroundthebeadingtable.com.Since then, Debbie has made the Garden Necklace and Earrings in about a dozen different colors. It’s a wonderful pattern that goes with everything and looks perfect on everyone. Thanks to her kitten’s vet appointment, she is now the proud owner of several thousand Swarovski crystals and the complete collection of Deborah Roberti’s books. Debbie says, “I hope whoever wins this set enjoys wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it!”

5 A 15” HAND-MADE POTTERY PLATTER WITH DRAGONFLY (photographed "in progress") Carol Barksdale Gould ’85

Carol has been a teaching artist in the Snoqualmie Valley for 25 years. After graduating from Scripps with a double degree in Visual Art and Theatre Directing/Design, she completed her teaching credential and MA in Education at Claremont Graduate University. She has been a classroom teacher in the Riverview school district for the past 16 years, sharing her joy of the arts with K-12 students. In addition to teaching visual arts, drama and language arts, she is the owner of Terra Nova Studio where she teaches 6 to 86 year olds the “madness of mud”. Carol says, “My focus has been to create beautiful, functional ware that is a pleasure to use, and to share this magical process with others.”

CAMP SCRIPPS 2016 CAMPERSHIP FUND RAFFLE ITEMS

We will throw all tickets into the bin for a final draw.

A SPECIAL DRAWING — Anyone Can Win! —

Stacks of standard issue linens are bundled and ready for pick up by Campers at check-in.

— 8 —

The sparse but serviceable dorm room (along with the linens) are the only “camping” part of Camp Scripps. With Wi-Fi in every room, terrific food, conversation, workshops, the pool...it’s more “spa” than “camp”!

The food at Camp is attractively presented as well as tasty. We really are catered to in a marvelous way.

Remember the beautiful campus? Cut a rose or two for your room.

SNAPSHOTS FROM CAMP SCRIPPS 2015

The Friday night theme dinner is an opportunity to dress up a little, or a lot, or anything in between. Nobody knows who will wear what, so the variety and surprises are fun.

The campus provides the material for the flower arranging workshop.

Creating something at Camp, as in Marilyn’s Shibori silk scarf dyeing workshop, is not just fun and exciting, you get to take something home!

— 9 —

CAMP IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE — COME JOIN IN THE FUN

Some people come to Camp just for the pleasure of being at the pool with best friends.

Margaret Fowler Garden is a peaceful spot for any workshop, especially one that involves thinking, writing, and sharing.

AN ABUNDANCE OF WORKSHOPS AND ACTIVITIES FOR ALL

These soapmaking workshop results look good enough to eat!

Spending too much time in the pool can have consequences, but hey, it’s HOT.

Workshops can stimulate the mind, body, and spirit. They provide a place to learn a thing or two about yourself, to uncover dreams long buried or ideas not yet discovered.

Basket making is a treasured Camp tradition. No experience is required for this quintessential workshop.

The Saturday Art Exhibit displays Camp creations for all to admire.

Another treasured Camp tradition: yoga with Valerie. The Sallie Tiernan Field House has excellent (air conditioned!) facilities.

The “art room” at Camp has a plethora of materials; everything from paper and pencils, paints, brushes, beads, etc. to scissors and glue guns. It’s always open for Campers to start or finish a project…or just hang out.

— 11 —

EVERYTHING POSSIBLE—NOTHING REQUIRED

How much fun is a workshop with ooey, gooey stuff to work with?!

— 12 —

The Scripps pool is a perennial draw, especially in Claremont in July. Hanging out in, or by, the pool is a popular afternoon option. The crystal clear state-of-the-art pool is perfect for floating, sunning, lounging, laughing, and swimming.

A “hands-on” workshop doesn’t always create something to bring home as a memento (unless you snag the balloon your arrow popped).

4 DAYS FILLED WITH THE MAGIC OF DISCOVERY AND LAUGHTER

Even before the Sunday brunch in Margaret Fowler Garden, the Creative Caucus is formed and planning begins for the next year’s Camp.

There are a lot of reasons to come to Camp: to get together with old or new friends, to learn stuff, to share stuff, to giggle like a schoolgirl, or to laugh like a crazy lady, but above all: come to treat yourself.

It is a rare Grand Finale act that renders Tamara speechless.

High-speed stop action is needed to adequately capture Sadie’s enthusiastic spirit.
