    Campers will view artmaking in a whole new light after this week! In this camp, they'll explore imaginative ways to create art using everyday objects and unexpected materials. Items may include: recyclables & found objects, fruits & vegetables, fabrics & tools, and more. Some traditional art tools will be used, too... but in unexpected ways. Any way you look at it, though, these messy masterpieces will be marvelous!

    STEAM - The Art of Building (4th-6th)

    Art is all around us every day...and not just in the form of drawings and paintings. While learning about the buildings and structures around them, campers will stretch their expressive muscles and build new things that exist in their imaginations. They'll have the opportunity to design and build models of their own dream homes and assemble decorative art pieces from various age-appropriate (and fun!) materials, learning about simple, universal principles of architecture and assemblage sculpture along the way.
