The camp is located in a beautiful wooded setting along the Spokane River, just one mile south of Interstate 90 and about 30 miles east of Spokane, WA and only 34 miles from the Spokane International Airport.The facilities are beautiful and restful with large gathering rooms for vending and non-class time and provide plenty of recreational activity for our non-tatting guests.

Participation is optional.
Display Area Bring your tatted treasures and projects, finished or not, to show in the display area. We always enjoy seeing what everyone has been working on over the past year.
