Ages 6 – 11 only (no 5-year-olds / no exceptions)
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the upcoming Camp Creative: Eco Explores, inspired by Upcycling and Nature.
Get ready to ignite your young artists’ creativity during this immersive week-long camp. We have an exciting line-up of activities and experiences planned, designed to inspire and engage young minds.
Throughout the camp, participants will embark on a transformative journey, as they repurpose unwanted fabrics and delve into the world of printmaking. They will explore the art of creating handmade inks, practice sewing and hand-stitching techniques, and even have the opportunity to craft tote bags from old t-shirts. Additionally, they will embark on outdoor walks, collecting materials and trash to be used in still-life compositions and sculptures. The campers will also learn to make t-shirt yarn and crochet unique purses, as well as create upcycled denim drawstring bags and zipper pouches.
As the week progresses, your children’s artistic endeavors will unfold, culminating in an exciting end-of-week exhibition for parents and families. This showcase will proudly display the culmination of their creative explorations, allowing them to shine and celebrate their newfound talents. It is an event that you won’t want to miss!
We invite you to join us for this immersive experience, where your young artists can freely explore their creativity and parents can marvel at the beautiful expressions of their children. It promises to be a week filled with inspiration, imagination, and pure joy.
