Each day, campers will explore different artistic mediums and methods, both in the studio and out in nature.

Throughout the week, campers will work towards producing a portfolio of art and share their work in a special gallery for parents and friends. |

| 7 | Aug 12-16 | Food & Gardening | Our very own garden will be the classroom for this week, while campers explore how to plant, grow, and prepare their own food! We will be getting our hands dirty in the garden while campers explore the science of growing food, including seeds, soil, water, and more. They will also learn how to harvest food from the garden to prepare new and nutritious snacks for themselves and the rest of the camp. |
| 8 | Aug 19-23 | Bugs & Butterflies | Insects and creepy-crawlies! During this week, campers will explore the fascinating world of the little creatures in the parks nearby. Campers will learn about the life, and habitat, and have the chance to investigate where they can find the bugs. Making their annual cameo, this week will be a busy week for our native and endangered Monarch butterflies and caterpillars as they devour milkweed and metamorph in front our very eyes! |
