Camp Brotherhood

  Founded in 1999, Camp Brotherhood is a continuing tradition for visual arts majors of Dalton University. No other campuses offer this opportunity, nor is it available for any other majors. For five weeks, the male artists live in cabins located along scenic Lake Michigan, not far from Camp Sisterhood. Ample time is dedicated to their craft, however, the main focus of the getaway is for bonding. At Dalton University, we treat our fellow art majors like family. We take this time out of our summer to remind ourselves of that, as well as welcome our new members joining the freshman class. Camp Brotherhood is a tradition that represents friendship and will hopefully continue on in the future of Dalton.
