What is Lucky Star Art Camp?

Lucky Star

Lucky Star is an art and whole living sleepaway camp for women that takes place annually on the banks of the Guadalupe River at Camp Waldemar in Hunt, Texas. The camp is five days and four nights of art and lifestyle classes ranging from jewelry making to stitching, guitar lessons to soapmaking, welding to astrology reading. The evenings are filled with activities like live music, mixers, crafting, speakers, themed dance parties, a clothing/book/craft swap, game nights, cabin hops, and it wraps up with a Show & Tell and Vendor Market night. Lucky Star is for women with a good sense of humor and an open mind and heart, who are ready to embrace curiosity and vulnerability to experience something extraordinary.

Camp Registration

We kick off camp registration each year with our Priority 30 Registration opportunity. This is only available to last year’s campers and is closed after the first 30 women are registered. The tuition and deposit are higher during this registration tier because these campers will have the first opportunity to sign up for classes when it’s time in the summer, ensuring they have the best chance of getting into all of their first choice classes.

Once Priority 30 is sold out, we open for Earlybird Registration. This tier is only available to the past two year’s campers and is only open for two days. The tuition is discounted, the deposit is less, and there are only 70 spots available. Any spots remaining at the end of Earlybird Registration period will rollover to General Registration.

At the beginning of February we start General Registration. This tier is open to the general public and there are 20 spots available, plus any left from Earlybird Registration.

At the point that we are Sold Out, we will post a link to a Waitlist for those interested in jumping in if there are any cancellations along the way. It happens every year, especially close to when camp starts, so be sure to put your name in the hat if you’re serious about coming. When a spot becomes available, we will reach out to the Waitlist before posting anywhere else.

Lucky Star Tuition

Lucky Star tuition is set at different tiers depending upon when you register for camp and does NOT include travel expenses, lodging, meals, class supplies/kit fees, or camp merchandise.

We use RegFox online registration system for collecting your information and for all payment processing. You will have the option to either pay in full or only pay a deposit at the time of registration. Both Priority and EarlyBird registration balances are due on May 15 and will automatically be charged to your card on file in RegFox. If you sign up during the General Registration Period, your balance will be charged to your card on file in RegFox on July 31. Anyone signing up after May 15th will be required to pay in full upon registering.

Camp deposits and tuition are non-refundable. Payment plans are available through our RegFox registration system. Travel insurance is offered by a third-party company during the registration process.

Class supply fees are paid for during class sign-up in the summer.

Lodging & Dining at Camp Waldemar

Room and board for Lucky Star is an additional expense and is booked directly through Waldemar via their online booking system. You will receive the link to book your lodging once you have registered and paid your tuition deposit for Lucky Star.

Class Sign-up

In the spring, we’ll begin rolling out our instructor lineup and classes on all of our social media channels. The details for each instructor and class will be loaded onto our website so you can read the instructor bios and class descriptions and start choosing your favorites. Then, in the middle of August, class sign-up will take place and supply/kit fees will be collected.

Our Priority 30 campers will sign up first, and then everyone else will sign up in the order in which they registered for camp.

Instructors – Lucky Star instructors are chosen each year by invitation or through an open call. If you are interested in being an instructor at Lucky Star, feel free to email Lisa at any time to pitch your ideas. Her email address is lisahfield@yahoo.com.
