Step outside and see the world differently. In Art in Nature, campers explore the outdoors as both classroom and canvas. Using natural materials, observation, and imagination, students create art inspired by the colors, textures, patterns, and rhythms found all around them.
Throughout the week, campers sketch, build, design, and experiment with projects that connect creativity to the natural world. They’ll slow down, look closely, and discover how nature influences artists across time. The week culminates in a Friday showcase where families can experience their child’s creations and creative process.
Perfect for young artists who love being outside, asking questions, and turning simple materials into meaningful art.
This program is designed for students entering grades 1–6 in the fall of 2026.
Camp Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Free aftercare is available 4:00 PM–5:00 PM
Campers will need to bring their own lunches. Snacks are provided in the morning and in the afternoon.
