Creative Visual Journaling: Capturing Your Pocono Experience

What if you could take home more than photos from your time in the Poconos?


In this relaxed, beginner-friendly creative workshop, you’ll learn how to capture your travel experience through visual journaling — combining simple drawing, expressive mark-making, and reflective prompts in a way that feels playful and accessible. No prior art experience is needed. If you can hold a pen, you can do this.



Hosted by a working artist and daily open-studio creator, this experience is designed to help you slow down and truly notice the landscape, the light, and the feeling of being here. We may gather outdoors to respond directly to the scenery — forests, lakes, cabins, or small-town streets — or, if preferred, work comfortably indoors in a cozy setting. The structure adapts easily to weather and guest comfort.


You’ll learn:

• Simple techniques for sketching without pressure

• How to use line, color, and words together on a page

• Ways to translate memory and place into meaningful marks

• How to quiet perfectionism and embrace creative play


By the end of our time together, you’ll leave with a few completed journal spreads — and a creative process you can continue long after your trip ends.


This workshop is ideal for:

• Couples looking for a meaningful shared experience

• Solo travelers wanting reflective downtime

• Families with older children

• Groups staying together looking to create unique memories

• Anyone curious about creativity but unsure where to begin


All materials can be provided, and sessions can be customized for small private groups.

Come slow down. Notice more. Make something real.
