9am - 1pm
Curriculum
Join us for a special “day out of school” Earth Day camp where creativity, nature, and mindfulness come together in a fun and meaningful way. Participants will begin the day by stepping outside (weather permitting) to explore sound detection and nature awareness, learning to slow down, listen, and connect with the environment around them. We’ll also spend time gathering natural elements to inspire our creative work. Inside, students will engage in a variety of hands-on Earth Day activities, including a therapeutic art project focused on reusing and repurposing materials in creative ways. They will also design and create a special keepsake for their garden or home, something they can take with them as a reminder of their connection to nature. Throughout the day, we’ll weave in mindfulness, simple meditation, and reflective moments to help students build awareness, appreciation, and respect for the Earth.

April Showers Bring May Flowers
Curriculum
Join us for a creative, hands-on camp day inspired by the beauty of spring.
This special “day out of school” experience is filled with art, imagination, and a little friendly competition. Weather permitting, we will do movement meditation and instruments outside. Participants will explore either a choice to use a single art medium or a mix of watercolor, air clay, and unique creative tools to design their own spring-inspired creations.
The focus will mainly be weather and spring inspired, however in order to encourage creativity, participants have the opportunity to digress and create what sparks their interest! This is a day where creativity flows, ideas come to life, and students get to express themselves in a fun and supportive environment.
