Wallowa County's Spookiest Art Class for Kids!

HAUNT CAMP is an extracurricular class that teaches design + fabrication to Wallowa County high school students. Our team of collaborators will build an avant-garde haunted house for the whole community to enjoy. It’s more than just a Halloween goof: students will learn technical skills used in well-paying creative careers.

HAUNT CAMP is a visual & performance art project that gives teens creative control while teaching the skills needed to realize their vision. Students will:

• Collaborate on a theme & design concept art

• Learn film & theater set construction

• Sculpt large props

• Make prosthetics & special effects makeup

• Create light & sound effects

• Run a haunted house Halloween weekend!

2024 UPDATE

Haunt Camp's haunted house has been cancelled for the year due to effects from a windstorm. However, we're pleased to offer a Spooky Story Slam, in collaboration with Fishtrap, on Friday, October 25 at Cloverleaf Hall in Enterprise.

This will be a night of spine-tingling tales from the classics to camp.

To enter the slam contest, email your short (less than five minutes), spooky story to jennifer@fishtrap.org by October 21. Finalists will read their stories at 8pm during the slam portion of the evening, and a panel of judges will present prizes.

Family friendly and great for kids! See you there!

The Director

JR Rymut graduated from Rhode Island School of Design and has been a professional creative fabricator since 2014. She now splits her time between teaching art in rural Wallowa County and working in Los Angeles for museum exhibit, film set, & taxidermy studios. Her active professional connections provide a unique opportunity for youth to learn the latest, most relevant techniques being used in the industry today. She finds the thought of building an exhibit designed by teenagers extremely funny.

HAUNT CAMP has been the dream since 2019.
