Sandy Camp XII: “THAR BE CLAY MATEYS!
A Pirate’s Paradise”
October 6 – 10, 2010
Prepare yourself!! It's Sandy Camp time again!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday October 6
through Sunday October 10, 2010. As always, you can
come for any or all of that time.
We will NOT be
having our retreat at our favorite spot: Warner Springs
Ranch. The ranch has been sold and the new owners are
closing down for 4-6 months to do major work on the
infrastructure. We are busily searching for a
replacement site and have the San Diego and North County
Visitors and Convention Bureaus helping us locate a new
home for this year. We will add that information to
this website as soon as it becomes available. Sandy
Camp will still go on!
This
year we will be going to
Temecula
Creek Inn in
Temecula , CA . Their address is
44501 Rainbow Canyon Road , Temecula , CA 92592 .
You can go to their website:
www.temeculacreekinn.com to see what it is
like. Most rooms will have 2
queen
sized beds, a small fridge and coffee maker and a
large flat
screen TV. In order to get our special price for
the rooms, remember to say that you are with the
San Diego
Polymer Clay Guild retreat when you make your
reservation. The cost of the rooms is $119+ tax and
T.O.T. which comes to $134/night. A roll away bed will
run $20/night. We will again be on their
tennis
court, just like at
Warner Springs Ranch.
To
make your reservation call
1 800 962-7335 and mention that you are with the
San Diego Polymer Clay Guild. They will ask for
a $119 deposit for each person/room. They will hold
rooms at our group price until September 5th.
Their cancellation policy says that you must give them
7days notice in order to get a refund.
Kelly Steindorf
will be in charge of demos this year. People
interested in doing a demo should send a proposal to
Kelly at
Kelly_Kreates@yahoo.com (that is an underscore
between Kelly and Kreates). She and her committee
will decide on the final candidates.
Registration
cost for this wonderful adventure is: SDPCG
members paid up before July 1, $75; Non-members: $85.
(There is a possibility that there may be an
additional charge if our costs are significantly higher.
We are trying our hardest not to have to do that.)
This includes your work space, demos, the Saturday
night Family Feast and access to our consignment store,
which has been quite a hit! You can mail your
registration forms and fees to Ellie Hitchcock, 3054
¼ Ivy Street, San Diego, CA 92104. Please make your
checks payable to SDPCG. Family members or
friends who are not claying, but staying with you will
be expected to pay a $30 registration fee, which
will cover the Family Feast. All registration fees
must be paid by Sept 1, 2010. Registration begins on
July 5 for Guild members. Non-members can
register two weeks later on July 19.

this!!

meals.
Gail Woods will be organizing and overseeing the
Sandy Camp
Consignment Store. You may reserve either a half
table ($15) or a
full table, as space permits ($35). Also, the guild will

10% of all sales. This is the only place
where selling will be permitted.

We will be having our second annual Book Swap at
Sandy Camp. This is your opportunity to get rid of
books that you no longer need or have duplicates of.
Shelly Neal will be in charge of the book swap event
at Sandy Camp. Bring polymer clay, jewelry or art
inspiring books that you are ready to part with, or have
more than one copy of. Turn your book in to Shelly and
she will give you a ticket good for one swap. She will
be collecting your books and handing out tickets … one
ticket for one book. NO MONEY WILL CHANGE HANDS!!!
We will again have a “Bottles of Hope” challenge,
with our own Deb Francis in charge. We encourage
you to use some of the techniques that you see during
the demos to make your Bottles of Hope. We will be
taking these polymer clay covered bottles as gifts to
cancer patients at a local hospital where they go for
their treatments, so please be prepared to part with
them. Patients really appreciate the little gift after
going through their chemo or radiation. We will supply
the bottles for you to cover.
We will also be making Hearts for Heroes and Beads of
Courage. There will be more information about these
projects in the Sandy Camp Teasers which will begin
closer to Camp time.
All BOH, Hearts for Heroes and Beads of Courage creators
will be recognized and applauded immediately following
the “Family Feast” on Saturday night.
On Friday Night we will again have a “Meet the Artist
Night” in the store with Heather Kenney and Susan
Berkowitz being in charge.
Our “Treasure Pirates” Tina Goodrich and Deni David
will be running our
annual Opportunity Drawings
along with their matey Marie Segal who will be
selling the Opportunity Drawing tickets.
If you are interested in donating anything to the
Opportunity Drawings, please email Deni at
denidavid@san.rr.com with your name and item
descriptions.
NO MOTORIZED PASTA MACHINES MAY BE USED IN THE WORK AREA.
You can use them in your room. If you use them in your
room we request that you observe some motorized pasta
machine etiquette: check with your neighbor and
roommates to be sure it's okay (some folks may need an
afternoon nap) and be considerate about the time of day
you use it.
If you have any questions feel free to email
Ellie at
ehitchcock@cox.net

Saturday night we will all eat together with a catered
