Spring Creative Camp+ Showcase Day
A 5-Day Nature + Art Adventure (Ages 5–10) that blends art, science, engineering, and imagination with an art exhibit on Day 6.
This spring, we’re getting our hands messy, and creating art inspired by the magic of the natural world.
From blooming flowers to fluttering wings, climbing creatures to sparkling crystals — each day is thoughtfully designed to blend art, science, engineering, and imagination.
✨ Small group.
✨ Big creativity.
✨ Intentional, hands-on learning.

What We’ll Explore Each Day
🌿 Day 1: Nature Explorers
We begin camp by stepping into the role of observers and collectors.
CHLOROPHYLL PAINTING // Campers discover the natural pigment inside leaves by gently pressing and rubbing them onto paper to release their green color.
This hands-on activity introduces children to the idea that plants make their own color — and lets them create beautiful, earthy prints directly from nature.
NATURE PAINT BRUSHES // Using sticks, leaves, grass, and found materials, campers create their own handmade brushes and experiment with mark-making.
NATURE CRYSTALS // Children grow sparkling crystal formations on natural objects — blending science and art in a magical way.
Skills woven in: observation, experimentation, texture and sensory exploration, patience.
🌸 Day 2: Bloom Lab
A full day inspired by flowers, color, and transformation.
COFFEE FILTER FLOWERS // Exploring color blending and watercolor diffusion.
BLOOMING FLOWER EXPERIMENT // A hands-on activity where children watch paper flowers “bloom” in water.
PRESSED FLOWER CREATION // Designing delicate artwork using real pressed flowers — exploring symmetry, placement, and balance.
Skills woven in: color theory, fine motor control, design thinking.
🐞 Day 3: Creature Lab
A day for curious minds and imaginative builders.
WALL-CLIMBING GECKOS // Children design geckos that actually climb — introducing simple mechanics and problem-solving.
BUILD-YOUR-OWN BUG // An open-ended creative challenge where campers invent their own original insect species.
How many legs? Wings? Antennae? Spots?
Skills woven in: engineering basics, creative confidence, spatial thinking.
🦋 Day 4: Wings & Movement
We explore flight, balance, and motion.
FLAPPING BUTTERFLY // A moving art piece that brings wings to life.
HOVERING ARTIST DRAGONFLY // A project focused on balance, suspension, and lightness. Kids create a jittery Dragonfly that can paint :)
Skills woven in: symmetry, coordination, kinetic art concepts.
🐦 Day 5: Birds & Nests
A calm, thoughtful day focused on building and care.
HAND-PERCHING BIRDS // Children create birds designed to gently “sit” on their hands — combining balance and imaginative play.
BUILD YOUR OWN NEST // Using natural and textured materials, campers construct a nest and explore structure and stability.
Skills woven in: design, patience, structural thinking, storytelling.
