All camps are led by certified teachers.
Our camps are based on the educational practice of literacy-based arts responses. Each theme is introduced through stories and then explored further through arts and play based responses. It is grounded in arts education and literacy education theories.
But don't let that official sounding explanation throw you off!
Our goal is to let kids have fun while exploring exciting topics. From a kids-eye view, we read and talk about stories and engage in a variety of art and stem projects and activities each week. We keep a consistent routine and allow kids time to relax throughout the day. While fun and interesting, it is also an engaging educational environment.
