CAMPS

With two studios, campers will spend time in both our messy front studio and our large movement and building studio.

    Imagination, creativity and excitement!

  • We know children thrive in small groups. Day camps run in groups of 10-12 with a 1:6 ratio for campers to staff. It allows us to offer a very hands-on experience.

  • Our Art program focuses on ‘Storytelling Art’, so while campers may not be acting out plays, they are using their imagination and building stories through mixed-medium art projects. They may create a mini set with puppets or a backdrop with costume pieces. We encourage children to use their imagination, building confidence through creative freedom!


CLASSES

Classes.png
  • We do not offer separate painting, pottery, or other Fine Art classes. All our classes are 100% Kid-created and focus on ‘Storytelling Art’. Participants work with a theme and though they start with the same materials and general guidelines, we encourage independent thought and facilitate total creative freedom. Students will explore a variety of mediums from painting, to Papier-mâché, clay, building, yarn, beads and mixed-medium construction.

  • Process Art is a creation that focuses on the journey, not the end result. We offer creative experiences that do not need to end with a set outcome.

    Children are given the opportunity to experiment, get messy and try new things through a variety of mediums, including, but not limited to paint, clay, play dough, beads, beans, rice, noodles, yarn, foam, paper, glue, markers, crayons, recycled creation, and unique building opportunities.

    Process Art helps develop creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, and confidence.

  • Yes! Mini Designers is a class for artists 2+ (or earlier if parents think they’re ready). Little people work with many of the same materials our older artists do. A mixed-medium exploration of art, creativity, and imagination. Parents are there to support, but the class is designed to give toddlers free creative expression. A hands-off approach gives children a chance to develop their own creative voice.
