Camp Mini Ha Ha 2012
September 26th -
October 1st Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, Canada
Camp
Mini Ha Ha is an annual miniaturist retreat,
held since 2001. The camp is a cooperative event,
bringing together miniaturists at every level of
experience, from beginner to expert to teacher, and is
designed to promote sharing while learning and having a
whole lot of fun. Our teachers come from near and far,
and campers from all over the world are welcome.
Plus no cooking and cleaning!
Camp
Mini
Ha Ha is a community – everyone is involved and everyone
helps out in making Camp the wonderful experience it has
become.
Camp
takes place every year in September; this year from
Wednesday, September 26th
to Monday, October 1st at the Annapolis Basin
Conference Center in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. The
Conference Centre provides a peaceful environment in
which to escape from the "everyday" and totally immerse
yourself in miniatures. The accommodations are
semi-private suites which include private sleeping
quarters and a shared bath with one other camper. Camp
Mini Ha Ha offers a unique experience different from
miniature events typically held in hotel type settings.
Our venue supports the cooperative and creative spirit
of Camp Mini Ha Ha.
Camp
Mini Ha Ha is structured around a single workshop, which
begins bright and early Thursday morning and continues
through the next four days allowing campers to work,
laugh and learn together. In addition to your main
project, there are usually some smaller projects to do
as well. The minor projects are designed to work on the
same theme as the main project so that they come
together into one miniature setting.
In
addition to the workshop, there are gifts galore and
workspaces available 24 hours a day to accommodate night
owls and early birds.
If
you are coming from outside the province or outside of
Canada you might want to consider extending your stay
and make your own arrangements to come to the region
early or stay a little longer. And, because we know you
will want to (grin), we can send you a Nova Scotia
Doers’ and Dreamers’ guide free of charge once you
register to help you with your planning.
The
arivals
begin early Wednesday afternoon
and
Camp activities begin after supper. Goodbyes are before
lunch on Monday.
L
Details to follow once you are registered.
The
contribution per camper covers the costs of the
project basic materials and five night’s accommodation
as well as breakfast, lunch and supper from Thursday
morning to Sunday evening.
After classes are
over for the day, the fun begins! We chat, play games,
go for walks or whatever you choose. There is lots of
space to be creative and to enjoy the evening. Check out
the Cornwallis Centre’s website

for more information on what the location has to offer.
We
hope you’ll come and play with us for a few days. You
will be able to leave your stress and worries behind for
a time. If you love miniatures, it’s an experience
second to none. Toy therapy, Playing and being creative
at the same time. Plus, no cooking and cleaning!
