Discover creativity in the great outdoors at our Art in the Wild camp! Each day, campers explore their home site and surrounding areas, gathering inspiration for their art. Through guided projects, they learn to paint, sculpt, and design using leaves, stones, and clay. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, teamwork, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of nature. It’s the perfect blend of art, adventure, and environmental discovery, letting creativity truly grow wild.
Campers will practice noticing patterns in nature while building comfort and confidence outdoors.
At Camp, We Will…
Explore nature to spark inspiration and creative ideas
Practice noticing patterns, textures, and details in the natural world
Build confidence and comfort while working and creating outdoors
Strengthen teamwork and collaboration through shared art and exploration
