We believe that expanded development of the whole person comes through experiences of action and creative risk taking. The goal of our art workshops, creativity retreats and wilderness adventure programs is to offer every participant unique opportunities to build on his or her own strengths. All the programs are geared toward awakening curiosity, enhancing perception, and fostering creative problem solving.

The experience is an affirmation about the human spirit.

People can discover resources inside them, they have never known exist.

The Centre's stunning wilderness setting and its proximity to the historic town of Atlin provide optimum conditions for developing a strong sense of individuality within a community, as well as a deeper connection with the natural environment.

Why choose Atlin Centre when there are other excellent summer programs closer to your home?  The journey to Atlin is in itself a lifetime adventure. When you get to Atlin you will see it was worth the cost and effort of the journey  Look under Location & Travel Information  for information on the Vancouver - Whitehorse - Atlin return trip.   You won't find programs of such quality for such a low fee as ours.  The Atlin Art Centre is more than a workshop experience, it is an Art Adventure with a New  Perspective. The uniqueness of the workshops and the approach during the daily process, in combination with the special field trips from our base camp on Spirit Island, make the Atlin programs an exceptional life experience  which no other centre offers.



As you focus on your creative process, you will hike, canoe, boat, and camp in astonishingly beautiful places with a small party of 9 people and accompanied by an expert guide and art instructor. Experience majestic mountains, pristine glaciers, rushing creeks, mystic forests, crystalline alpine lakes, wildlife and tranquility.
