Poetry in Nature
Explore poetry from different poets such as classics like Dickinson, Carroll, and Silverstein, as well as more contemporary poets like Nikki Giovanni and others. Kids will learn how to use their Poet’s Eyes to view the world and find inspiration to not just write but also read like a poet. It will be a generative class, where kids will have notebooks they decorate to claim as their own and write in. We will take weekly field trips to different nature spots around the city and write about our experiences there. Students will learn how to package big thoughts and feelings into small moments.
Music Camp
Summer music students will be surrounded by an atmosphere of fun, connection and education, by participating in group bands, learning about music production, playing games that help them learn culture and music of the world and more!

Nature as Art (Grades 2-5)
Our camp will encourage us to appreciate the natural world as we imagine and create. We will be connecting with art and nature by using a variety of mediums and materials, from flowers and leaves to onion skins and dirt. Some projects will include weaving, natural dying, and making sun prints. Let’s play in the dirt and make something beautiful!
Maker’s Lab
The Maker’s Art Lab is a unique opportunity for students to develop their skills across a wide array of artistic mediums such as painting, finger knitting, and jewelry-making techniques. Projects may include single-strand bracelets, clay slab frames, and more! The holistic approach to art applied in this class develops creative thinking and peer-to-peer collaboration through project-based learning.
