Will you be at the Camp Mattatuck Awards Dinner & Fundraiser Friday November 21st 2025?

This beautiful oil painting by ShawnaLee W. Kwashnak  captures the golden warmth of the sun over Camp Mattatuck’s beloved Lake Kenosha.

Painted en plein air during the Pomperaug Girl Scouts  Camporee—right in the midst of swim tests—it embodies the true spirit of camp life that we all treasure.

A meaningful keepsake that comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist! Mounted on gator board with  reversible pH-neutral Demco archival glue and ready to slip into your favorite 8x10" frame.   Even better if you make your own frame from salvaged camp branches!!! How cool would that be?!!!!

A wonderful way to support our Scouts! Treat yourself or gift the painting in recognition to those who are dedicated to Camp Mattatuck! 

Thank you for supporting Scouts!

 Winning Bidder Challenge:

Make a frame from salvaged branches from Mattatuck! If you do, let me see how it all looks when you're done!!!!

This seven minute historic stage painting will be raffled in support of the Middlebury Congregational Church.

Painted during the autumn Variety Show in front of a live audience of close to 100 people in about 7 minutes from blank canvas to what you see here. The painting is ready for your 11×14” frame.
