"At Shakerag you will find world class instructors who are absolute experts in their field and acknowledged nation wide if not worldwide. The small class size will give you plenty of access to the teachers. The staff is extremely dedicated and helpful so you can focus on your classwork. The campus is stunning and the Res invites you for a nice refreshing swim. Overall it is an adventure filled with excitement and the opportunity to make plenty of new friends. Before I forget it the food is always spectacular."

testimonial 5

"Shakerag is like a summer camp for adults, in the best sense. There is room for serious skill-building and for exploring new creative endeavors as a beginner. The campus is so lovely, peaceful and easily walkable. The people though, both the participants and the staff, make the place welcoming, accommodating and truly a delight. Worth every penny and worth the time."

Jill Blanchette, Westerly, Rhode Island

"Unlike any of the many workshops I have taken; excellent comprehensive instruction held in a serene and tranquil environment. But what I tell my close friends...I attended adult summer camp where the crafts and food were so much better than when we were kids attending camp."

Vicky Augenstein, Lincoln, California

"Shakerag is part summer camp and part retreat for adults. The focus is on creative workshops, but the food and recreational opportunities in the beautiful surroundings are also incredible. I made new friends and refreshed my soul while learning a new skill!"

"Although you will learn skills in the workshops, you may be surprised by how much you learn about yourself in the process, even if you think you are past that. The workshops are delightful! Pennie Boyett, Arlington, Texas"
