She began playing music in school at age 9 and has since picked up a variety of instruments. She has been a part of the local music scene, performing in different bands for the last 16 years. Her primary instruments these days are guitar, drums and keys. Although her active bands have taken a backseat to her growing family, she is excited to share her love of music with this new community. Before she had her first child, Amy worked as a preschool teacher for about 8 years in Bend. Since then she has been substituting in the public schools and booking music at various venues. Amy is looking forward to combining these two passions of music and teaching in her time with Bend Imagines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/0fa26c7f-c275-4b4d-bab6-e0e0b2d3bd19/Screenshot+2025-02-19+at+9.05.08%E2%80%AFAM.png Our Instructors - Ruby Jensen Ruby Jensen looks forward to leading the artistic experience for your kids.

Since then, she has sharpened her storytelling skills, taking on the roles of director, actor, and stage technician, occasionally all at once. Along with her theatre and film experience, Carina brings years of experience as a summer camp counselor and youth crisis worker. While Carina might look back at her early entries into film and theatre as being amateur or underdeveloped, she remembers the electric thrill of creativity that came with making them and the joy of bringing ideas from her imagination into reality. As a drama instructor at Bend Imagines, she hopes to share that joy, and help children to find and use their own creative voices, so that they can continue to fill the world with art and laughter. https://www.bendimagines.com/camps daily 0.75 2026-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358795230-INT05D1A2PK6RBOM7108/3A918955-4B9E-4CBA-9050-0C3D24FE2B41.jpeg Camps - Camp Carnelian August 10-21, 2026 (camp is progressive so attendance for both weeks is necessary) 10:00-3:15 Monday-Friday Cost for camp $425 Show 6:30pm Friday August 21st Teachers: Dance-Kellee Blanchard Drama- Carina Schmidt Art- Ruby Jensen Music-Amy Bathen https://www.bendimagines.com/about daily 0.75 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358796011-YRY8K3F75OCC8CU0S2KC/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_1646.jpg About Imagine That! was founded in 1993 in Eugene, Oregon by Lola Broomberg who sums up what it is about perfectly… There is magic in a group of children collaborating with each other and a crew of inspired teachers in creating a shared playful vision. Limitations slip away as we all spend time in this realm of possibility. Imagine That! restores our faith in what is possible when people work together and treat each other well. It is still thriving in Eugene after over 30 years and we are now excited to bring it to Bend under the name of Bend Imagines. https://www.bendimagines.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358796799-QG9IAYHDMO9DLB6EAKK7/IMG_9463.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358796802-ORCNEX75R7CGKTEABP0G/painting.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358796805-JSQ0NBH9EPFXBGK1793Y/IMG_2167.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358796808-KIH4BOJZBIWM41DCZT6H/First-Page-photo-3-1024x768.jpg Home https://www.bendimagines.com/location daily 0.75 2026-02-23 https://www.bendimagines.com/registration daily 0.75 2025-01-08 https://www.bendimagines.com/registration/p/merriment-balance-y364y monthly 0.5 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358798432-6U0HP0P7GO9EQZR8LAQH/Screen+Shot+2022-01-22+at+6.43.41+PM.png Registration - Carnelian Remaining Balance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358798437-R7Z4V9PBPL30B6M64OVU/Screen+Shot+2024-01-24+at+2.00.30+PM.png Registration - Carnelian Remaining Balance https://www.bendimagines.com/registration/p/merriment-deposit-fclxm monthly 0.5 2026-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/677ebb889f200374e7a2c537/1736358798447-K4ABF2BITNF1PGJ41MIZ/Screen+Shot+2024-01-24+at+1.49.09+PM.png Registration - Carnelian Deposit https://www.bendimagines.com/videos daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://www.bendimagines.com/videos/v/what-bend-imagines-is-all-about monthly 0.5 2026-01-12
