SUMMER  CAMPS

3-D Arts, Horse and Games 3-Day Camp Session 1

This camp is planned to encourage hands-on exploration and creativity with design, engineering, problem solving, upcycling, and self expression. Large construction materials will be available for a multiple-day project as well as smaller daily creative projects. Campers will learn how to use pliers, wire cutters, and hammer and nails.

Art, games and horse ride every day.

Bring a Lunch and Water Bottle labeled with your name. Bring closed toe shoes for the horse, plus cloth gloves if you have them (only if you are worried about shared germs as reins are not cleaned between riders), and a bike helmet (or use one of my helmets). 

The pool will be open until 1:30 pm after camp for parents who want to supervise their own child swimming.

9:00 am - 12:30 pm (plus parent/child pool time until 1:30)

JUNE 17, 18, 20, 2025

Session 1 can accept only one or 2 more students so be sure and pay to save your spot.  

 Arts, Horse and Games 3-Day Camp Session 2 *

This camp session is planned for smaller 3-D projects than Session 1. Experiences with 3-D art are not often offered in school but they provide a unique way to use the brain that is very beneficial. The goals are still creativity, self expression and self confidence. Projects will include clay, wire (including use of pliers and wire cutters) and other materials which are all included.

Art, games and horse ride every day.
