Who Art Thou? (July 19 - 23) – last year we used our physical body to bring life to the rest of what’s inside us. Journaling, drawing, yoga, hikes, acting, sculpting, and even friendship bracelets made way for deep discovery. WHO ART THOU? Too many tests, lessons, chores, and phone chats make way for a long week of playing into our emotions and questions. Who Art Thou? Just one week of girls from school’s all across town to help us understand nothing can keep us down! Ages 9 and up $75 extra with overnight!
Life and Death in the Forest! (July 26 - 30) – learn many of our local creatures, what they eat, who they live with and just what it really means to “have a habitat.” Our PNW plants and animals make for great subjects to observe, sculpt, paint, and mimic through games!
With 7 acres of safe wild space ~ your kid will know what it is like to net tadpoles, track coyotes, observe birds, eggs and pellets and play in the trees. Ages 4 and up welcome!
Space Camp (Aug 2 - 6) – explore space with our local expert! Sculpt, act, paint, listen, look, and learn about more than just the stars and our solar system. What is a nebula? How many arms does the Milky Way have? Why did Pluto get taken off the list? If you know a lot or nothing at all, this camp will be exciting for kids ages 5 and up.
Sculpt – Build - Create It! (Aug 9 - 13) – we will use wood, wire, sand, stone, clay and garbage collections to build what we love. Interested in bikes, birds, or balls this is the camp for your mind to come alive. Art is more than just drawing this is a chance to create your wackiest ideas. From fairy houses and bee boxes to Dr. Seuss flowers building takes more than a hammer and wood. Ages 7 and up
