"The bottom line of SFAC is, no matter who you are, what your story is, what the color of your skin, gender, or anything else, it is guaranteed you will make friends who love and accept you for who you are, counselors who care, a staff that wants the best for you, a community you can feel safe in, and overall a wonderful summer full of memories." - SFAC Student

"SFAC has encouraged me to interrogate my beliefs about the world and myself, take creative and interpersonal risks, opened my eyes to the infinite expanse of possibilities that art presents, and given me dozens of little moments that I will treasure forever" - SFAC Student

"SFAC acts like an oasis where I can escape my worries and stress or sometimes boredom that I experience and bury myself in art and grow as a person and grow with the people around me. It's a space to breathe and focus." - SFAC Student

"I used to think SFAC was a special event in the middle of the summer - a reward after a grueling school year. But I've begun to see it as more of a fuel to last me all year long. SFAC motivates me to create and connect with others. It is a place where I am allowed to be confident in my abilities and learn by leaps and bounds at the same time." - SFAC Student

"I remember the school year after my first time at middle school camp. I was asked to pick the top three most influential moments in my life and SFAC was one of them. Six years and several camp sessions later I still stand by that. Words can't express what this camp means to me. It (honest to god) has changed my life over and over again. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3 <3 <3" - SFAC Student

Art is magic. It connects us as people, it builds community, raises our self-esteem, celebrates the great joys and helps us make it through the deep sorrows. Art can remind us of who we are. Art can also help us hear the voices of people forgotten. It can shock us, wake us from our slumber, challenge our assumptions and beliefs; it can also provide comfort, solace, and peace.
The Sitka Fine Arts Camp is also magic. Camp is a special place where communities quickly build deep bonds and, from this community, life-long friendships spring up and life-long passions are discovered. At the Sitka Fine Arts Camp we are able to be deeply present, self-expressive, empathic, curious, and engaged in the moment. We are able to work cooperatively with each other and strive to find beauty and love in the work we make. The Sitka Fine Arts Camp happens for a short time each year but during this precious time magic is created that endures far beyond the short summer season and into the fabric of our lives.
