Come explore all the beauty of nature from an artistic point of view in our Art in Nature Camp! On top of playing in our exhibits together, campers will be led through various nature-themed art projects, like making their favorite animal out of found outdoor materials and using leaves from trees to create ink prints. There will also be plenty of opportunities to explore nature in our classroom, with displays of fossils local to the area, real animal bones, live plants, and lots of cool rocks and minerals. Even though we won’t be going outside during the camp itself, it’s sure to be a wild time with plenty of fun to be had!
NOTE: This camp is all about nature; campers will be doing lots of hands-on art projects using things such as sticks, leaves, grass, and rocks. We will for sure be getting our hands dirty!
