Nestled in the french pyrenees at 750m altitude, 10km from the spanish border and surrounded by snowcapped peaks, waterfalls and forests, is the picturesque thermal village of Aulus-les-bains. In the village, housed in a beautifully renovated 19th century hotel, is CAMP - the first of a new breed of arts residency. CAMP runs five-day arts, music, writing and arts-activist sessions. These are no ordinary courses - they are intense, artistic catalysts run by internationally acclaimed practitioners; creative flashpoints designed to change the lives of everyone involved. The courses combine work in our well equipped facilities with projects carried out in the mountains.
