Creatures of Myth & Legend
Step into a world of folklore and fantasy, where campers will design their own mythical creatures, sculpt enchanted wands, and craft storytelling puppets. We’ll explore legendary beings from different folktales bringing them to life through mixed-media art, sculpture, and wearable creations!
Earth Art
Inspired by the beauty of our planet, this week will be all about art that emerges from nature. Children will create stunning land art, botanical prints, and ephemeral installations, taking cues from artists like Andy Goldsworthy. We’ll blend science and creativity as we experiment with eco-dyes, plant-based pigments, and natural sculpture materials.
Miniature Magic & Tiny Tales
From fairy villages to pocket-sized storybooks, we’ll embark on a journey into the world of miniatures! Campers will craft miniature objects, design whimsical characters, and build magical dollhouse furniture and shadow-box theaters. This week celebrates the magic of small-scale storytelling!
Wearable Art & Wild Costumes
Our group will design, construct, and model their own wearable creations using upcycled materials, textile art, and hand-painted fabrics. We’ll explore artists like Nick Cave and his dazzling Sound Suits before bringing our own costume fantasies to life.
