SUMMER PROGRAMS

Art of Emotions

Art of Emotions 2: Discovering Your Voice & Telling Your Story

Campers will explore identity, authenticity, and resilience through meaningful art experiences that help them discover and express who they are.

Through projects like tie-dye shirts, block-printed initials, dream catchers, mosaics, and fingerprint art, children will celebrate their uniqueness and learn to see beauty in imperfections, inspired by concepts like kintsugi and Beautiful Oops.

Activities will encourage campers to reflect on challenges, build confidence, and transform “mistakes” or chaos into something meaningful and beautiful. Through individual and collaborative creations, campers will practice finding their voice, sharing their story, and building compassion and connection with others.

The week will end with an art show where campers confidently present their work, practice giving thoughtful feedback, and celebrate their growth and creativity.

Your child can participate in just one Art Camp or both.  We will be doing different projects in each camp.
