Hopi Silver Workshop

What to Expect

General Information

The workshop takes place on Crow Canyon's beautiful 170-acre campus (elevation 6200 feet). Most of your time will be spent creating one or more pieces of jewelry. Everyone will work at their own pace; previous experience is not required. Most evenings are free for you to work on your pieces, stroll the nature trail, or enjoy panoramic mountain views while relaxing in a rocking chair on the lodge deck.

Accommodations

Shared accommodations are provided in comfortable, Navajo-style log cabins ("hogans") at the Crow Canyon campus. Private rooms are not available and, depending on enrollment, couples might not be housed together. Shared, modern shower and restroom facilities are located in a separate building adjacent to the hogans.

Meals as listed in the itinerary are provided in the lodge dining hall. You'll be treated to delectable, healthy meals that feature hearty entrees and fresh fruits and vegetables. A salad bar and vegetable dishes are available for those who favor vegetarian cuisine.

Sharing the Campus

The Crow Canyon campus is a center of learning for children, teens, and adults! During this week, you will be sharing the campus with participants in other programs, including students enrolled in Crow Canyon's High School Archaeology Camp.
