Artfully Messy

Week 6: Jul 13 – Jul 17

Creativity can be delightfully messy! Campers, you will engage in hands-on, outdoor art experiences that celebrate imagination, nature, and a little bit of chaos. Using a variety of messy materials, you’ll create art in the park, paint with nature, and experiment with textures, colors, and natural tools. Inspired by artist Andy Goldsworthy, you’ll design your own land art, transforming sticks, leaves, stones, and more into temporary masterpieces. Along the way, you’ll interact with our animal ambassadors to create animal-inspired art, blending creativity with up-close wildlife encounters. This camp is perfect for young artists who aren’t afraid to get messy while making something naturally beautiful!
