Illustrated Map of Camp Mishemokwa, a summer sleepaway camp

Illustrated Map

Self-directed

I’ve always loved illustrated maps. I can still picture the water-damaged, torn in too many place waterpark map from my childhood that I poured over, planning out imaginary visits in my mind.

Camp Mishemokwa was a sleepaway summer camp that I attended in the early 90s in Bat Cave, North Carolina. While the camp closed in early 2000s, I wanted to create a piece that captured the sense of calm, comfort and fun found each summer in the hills of Mishemokwa.
