Summer Camps and Classes
We will be adding more camps and classes. Check this page for fun new additions in the coming weeks!
We love the fresh snow that has fallen - but also that it's time to get ready for summer!
About summer camps and classes:
We are child-focused
Rather than emphasizing a particular outcome,we encourage artists to explore projects and mediums as they wish (safely).
We will go outdoors
...every day that the Wisconsin summer allows us to! Please dress, cover, and slather as necessary to protect your camper.
We like to get messy
Many of us do,anyway. Please wear clothes that may become permanently altered.
We always play
All artists need breaks! We schedule play time, and encourage kids to choose a break when they need one. We have lots of fantastic toys and natural materials to pretend, build, and imagine with.
And, we raise monarch caterpillars and release the butterflies

This is an unconventional painting class - we will not be using paintbrushes except to mix colors.

We have smocks of course, but old clothes are a must.
