July 10 – 14 from 12:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. This week of Summer Camp is all about Wood & Clay! We’ll mix up clay and woodworking in Craft Camp this week. Fun projects will result! Campers will learn several techniques in woodworking, clay and glazing. Students learn about the firing process and about the chemistry involved in clay, glazes, and firing. We’ll keep things fun and engaging by incorporating clay and wood into projects… we’ll also work with found objects, and objects from nature. Campers will hone the very tactile skills and dexterity that it takes to work with clay and wood. Sensory exploration, craftsmanship, creativity, and patience (sigh!) all come into play when working in these mediums. Students make projects to take home. This camp is recommended for school-age children 6yrs and up. What to bring: A sun hat or sunscreen if your child is sensitive to sun. It’s best to dress in layers. We will be outdoors. Children need closed-toe shoes and long hair tied back. Bring a refillable water bottle and a snack. If there is a camp ending as ours begins and you need your child transferred, let us know! If you’d like your camper to stay during the lunch hour, there’s a $20 fee for the week to cover the lunchtime gap. They can bring a lunch and have lunch with us with the option to do a fun craft after lunch. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts Stay Connected on Social Media!
