About the Camp
Our comics camp takes place in the middle of the southeast Alaska rainforest. It’s a four-night retreat for working artists to connect, learn, explore and relax. There’s a loosely organized schedule of workshops and conversations along with plenty of tromping around in the woods and hanging out. A professional development conference for people who don’t like conference rooms.
The campground is a nice balance of rustic and civilized. We’ll be tucked away in the trees but still have access to flushing toilets, hot water for showers and even a camp cook. We’ll have campfires, board games and all the fun camp things along with presentations, workshops and discussions led by our professional peers.
The comics camp is primarily geared towards professionals working in comics and visual storytelling but we’re happy to have cross pollination from game developers, authors, musicians, journalists, filmmakers, and others who work in forms adjacent to sequential artists, cartoonists and animators.
The cost of the camp is $800. This includes lodging for four nights at the campground plus camp meals and transportation to and from downtown Juneau. If you would like to exhibit at the convention, you also receive an exhibition space.
Financial aid is available to camp applicants who need it and requests for financial aid do not factor into the review of your application.
