Camp Q

CAMP Q WILL CONCLUDE FREE SESSIONS MAY 1, 2020.

Thank you to all who joined us for this experiment in fostering curiosity and building remote community these past 5 peculiar weeks. Recordings of all Camp Q sessions will be online soon!

STAY SAFE, STAY CURIOUS!

Strange days indeed.

John Lennon said it best. These days are, indeed, most peculiar, mama. Why not use this rare gift of time to explore and share — new hobbies, new skills, new places and ideas.

While we’re quarantined, a few abridged versions of Maine Explorers Club workshops will be available online, free, to anybody with curiosity to learn and a desire to connect.

If you’re using your phone, download and install the Zoom app first.

Camp Q meets Monday and Friday 4pm EST for 30 minute workshops on a variety of topics.

Camp Q Young Photographers meet Wednesday at 4pm EST for 45 minutes of “Light Writer’s” Photo Labs.

Topics will be announced daily via email and Instagram. Just subscribe to our mailing list and we’ll email you the Zoom meeting links each morning!

All online. All free. Perhaps a little distance can actually bring us closer!
