Avast, ye hearties, climb aboard and batten down the hatches as we sing a chantey tale of old! Plenty of loot to be had, lads and lassies. From treasure maps to blue lagoons and mermaid gardens, explore the ocean themes of pirates and mermaids, of sea monsters and exotic fish during this 4-day excursion into building, sculpting, painting and drawing. Returning campers will be excited about this year’s new adventures and art projects.

Your baby is growing fast! Come discover, explore and create each week at our many sensory play stations that are all open ended, hands on and child led. Opportunities to explore a variety of new sensory play materials and engage in early art experiences are party of this four week class.
Join us in supporting baby as they safely explore their environment, learn new skills and build community with other babies and caregivers. Think of this class like the best messy play date that you don’t have to clean up!
Printmaking is not for the faint hearted. It is messy, unpredictable and requires an inquisitive mind (“what will happen if I change something about my process?” “hmmm, why is it too light or too dark, and what needs tweaking”); a lot of organization (setting up for a project and cleaning up afterwards), and some degree of flexibility as projects can be extended further or take a sudden turn if need be. We will dabble in a bit of everything - from monoprinting, to clay reliefs, to stamp making, to experimenting with cyanotype – and learn new techniques and skills in various mediums while drawing inspiration from brilliant botanicals.

*Each Art Play camp is unique. This year we offer three*.
This camp is for the students, whose doll or any tiny creature they adore is in need of a beautiful place to live.
We will start by customizing our plywood houses to meet individual needs of campers' dolls, tiny creatures, superheroes, scary but kind monsters. After all - none of us is alike. Each camper will paint and decorate their house by making wallpaper, artwork, furniture, and more. We will paint, print, build, sculpt and stretch our creativity muscle to see how we can up-cycle everyday objects to create one of a kind teeny-tiny houses.
​
All materials are included though campers are encouraged to bring their special materials if they want to add this special touch
​Come to camp prepared to learn more about your personal relationship with art. We will explore the world of aesthetics and what goes into art making. Our time will be divided between the classroom projects and sketching/painting outdoors. Students will learn about the fundamentals of art, drawing techniques, color mixing, paint handling, and more. The subject matter may include portraits, landscapes, still life, and/or anything that strikes the student’s interest. A range of media, art forms, and inspirations will be explored including drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture! Engaging projects are organized so that students are working on a similar theme, but with freedom for each to be creative and add their own ideas.
Nuts and corks; sticks and flowers; glitter and glue. Mix well and then sprinkle with stories of fairies and goblins, of gnomes, unicorns and dragons. Combine lots and lots of creative juices with the mixture and steep for four days. Voilà! Make room for a few amazing projects full of natural elements, loose parts, clay, and colorful textures your camper will bring home at the end of the week. Come play, explore drawing, painting & printmaking and create in the land of the fantastic.
Check the skies for an owl, as your letter of acceptance might be on its way! Enter the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and cease to be a Muggle for a summer session of enchanting art.
​
