Jamboree creative weekend at Mt Keira Scout Camp

International artists of various mediums will inspire 100 camp-goers through workshops, yoga, forest walks, feasts, dancing and music across three days.

Workshops include Indigenous weaving with Wreck Bay elder Julie Freeman, photography with Chris Frape, loom weaving with Natalie Miller, printing with Trina Collins, living sculptures and edible natives with permaculture expert Narelle Happ, watercolour painting, circus skills, woodwork, baking and more.

Ms Collins said the event will be great to showcase to tourists how strong the Illawarra creative scene is in a beautiful location.

“People are starting to realised they don’t have to move to Sydney, Melbourne or overseas to make it as an artist,” she said.

Campers can BYO tent, bunk in “rustic” dorms, or glamp in twin-share bell tents. 

Culinary delights on site will be from local chefs like Sandy Goodwich, The Red Kitchen, Bali Spice Magic, The Vege Box, Honest Coffee, Nourish and Nest Tea and Berry Sourdough Bakery.
