Creators Week
September 16-19, 2024
Ignite your creative spark and be part of an unforgettable community experience!
There is often a level of uncertainty that comes with learning a new craft. You might have an idea of what you are trying to achieve but aren’t sure how to get started or what tools you may need. That is why TMI Creators Week was conceived!
Why Creators Week is an experience you won't want to miss:
Nurturing Natural Environment: Immerse yourself in the tranquility of Three Mile Island in the Fall and let its beauty fuel your inspiration.
Expertly Crafted Classes: Unlock your creative potential under the guidance of skilled instructors passionate about helping you succeed.
All Skill Levels Welcome: From beginners to experienced artists, our craft communities cater to all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned artist looking to expand your horizons or a novice seeking a creative outlet.
Unleash Your Inner Artist: Experience the joy of creating and expressing yourself freely in a supportive environment.
Foster Meaningful Connections: Forge friendships that last a lifetime with fellow crafters who appreciate the transformative power of art and nature.
CREATIVE COMMUNITIES:
The eight creative communities that will be offered are listed below. Use the arrows on the side to scroll forward and back. Due to limited space in each community, registrants will have the opportunity to request a first and second choice on the registration form.
NOTE: iPhone Photography and Puppetry Magic, both originally on the schedule, will no longer be offered this year.

WHAT TO BRING AND WHAT TO EXPECT:
Three Mile Island Camp is camping in comfort with most of the work eliminated. Here are some things worth knowing to help you prepare for and enjoy your visit:
Dress is informal. Plan for outdoor living- sturdy shoes for walking on rocky paths, warm clothes for cool weather, and rain clothes.
Flashlights are essential! There is electricity in the community areas, but cabins are not equipped with lighting. A solar or battery-powered lantern for your cabin is nice to have.
Linens are not provided for fall programs. Bring a sleeping bag, towel, and pillowcase.
Solar showers are provided at each cabin. Please bring biodegradable soap.
Unlike the summer season, baggage will NOT be taken to your cabin. Please bring only what you can carry as it may be a long walk.
Meals are served promptly at 8:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 6:00 PM. There will be a bugle call 15 minutes before each meal and a wake-up call at 7:30 AM. Please be on time for meals.
We cannot accommodate special diets during fall programs, but vegetarian meals are available if you let us know ahead of time on your reservation form.
There are no housekeeping services. On departure day, we ask that you sweep your cabin and empty wastebaskets in the barrels at the Main House.
Canoes, kayaks, and sailboats are available for use at no charge. We ask that you return boats to the main dock at the end of each day and do not keep any boats at your cabin overnight.
The launch to the island is at 2:00 PM on Monday from Goodhue’s/Shep Brown’s Boat Basin located at 31 Lovejoy Sands Rd., Meredith, NH.
Upon arrival at Goodhue’s/Shep Brown’s Boat Basin, please unload your baggage onto the grassy area next to the public docks and park in the Three Mile Island parking area. You will see it on your right as you come down Lovejoy Sands Rd.
Departure from the island is at 3:00 PM on Thursday.
Electronic equipment such as cell phones and laptops are strongly discouraged and limited to use in cabins only. Drones are expressly prohibited.
Please feel free to bring a cooler and beverages to enjoy during our social hours and at dinner. Ice is available. We have a “Carry In/Carry Out” policy for all bottles and cans.
