Week 1 Camp Creative
Kamila’s Program Highlights: Handmade dyeing & printing, creating animal tracks with clay, handmade paper, mosaics, scrapbooking, and drama games.
Each week is packed with a fun range of projects, including eco-inspired creations, clay sculpting, fabric dyeing with natural materials, puppet-making, zine creation, painting, stamping, tie-dye, felting, and weaving. Campers also enjoy drama games and music. No two weeks are the same, each session is uniquely shaped by the skills and passions of that week’s lead instructor.
