At this Arts in the Parks program, lodge guests can explore creative pathways - dance, writing, storytelling, and visual art - to connect with the natural world.

Meet Artists-in-Residence Mimi Chenfeld and Marlene Robbins and learn about their lifetime of work teaching people age 2 to 102. Explore creative pathways to connect with the natural world.

Join Marlene and Mimi to explore a variety of arts experiences in dance, creative writing, storytelling, and visual art. Working in tandem, these long-time creative and educational collaborators will lead participants through a series of creative activities designed to bring new ideas to life. 

In a safe and joyful environment, participants will discover (or rediscover) their unique creative gifts.
