• Art and Science Camp: CAMP YOU!

  Kindergarten-Grade 6
  $450/week

  June 12-16
  9 a.m.-3 p.m.
  
  

  We've had LOTS of different camp themes in the past, but this one is our favorite because . . . it's all about YOU!
   
  Do you know what makes you the most amazing YOU? We will explore everything about you with awesome art projects, games, and science experiments. Turn your name into graffiti, design a medieval family shield, embellish a mirror for your face, share handmade name bracelets, and glaze and fire a  personalized ceramic mug in the kiln! We'll get our feet and hands messy while making a fingerprint masterpiece on canvas, transforming your hand into an animal, and forming bones from clay! Most fun of all, you'll make a tie-dye camp shirt that's just as unique as YOU!
   
  Learn about your eyes by cutting open a real cow eyeball! Use candy to make your DNA, and celery to see how we inherit traits from our parents! You'll try to spread glitter germs, dust for fingerprints with balloons, and inspect your face to see how your genes (not the kind you wear as pants) are one-of-a-kind!  You'll measure your temperature and strength out on the Wild Acre, invent a "new you" on the iPads, and have a lot of good 'ol fun with our amazing counselors.
   
  Speaking of your favorite counselors, they will wow you with their "super human tricks" (can you balance a ball on your nose while singing?) and compete for the Camp YOU Crown.  Better yet, start practicing your own human trick or talent to show off during our group times!
   
  The weekly fee includes a daily hot lunch, art materials, kiln firing fees, snacks, scientific creations, and a bag of full of art masterpieces to amaze your friends and family! Spots fill up quickly, so be sure to register right away!

  
  We can't wait to see YOU at CAMP YOU!

  iCreate Memories! Summer Camp is the ideal camp for children, grades 1– 8, with a desire to learn the basics of photography while playing games, exploring our world, and creating memories. If you hand a camera to a child, you’ll soon realize that they see the world around them much differently than adults. They tend to take notice of the smallest things that many of us overlook. This camp is designed around what appeals the most to children... free play, creativity, hands-on activities, arts and crafts, and creating and displaying masterpieces!

   

  Students will have the opportunity to play freely, take creative photos with guided instruction, and create masterpieces, using fun and age-appropriate apps and programs, that will be printed and sent home. Campers can use camp-provided DSLR cameras and/or camper-owned cell phones to learn how to take good shots and edit the photos in fun and unique ways. No matter the age, all children will enjoy our camp!
   

  Equipment to Bring: iPhone or iPad highly suggested. If your child does not have either of these, they can borrow one from us.
