Wonders of Nature! & Calling all Heroes!

Description

Week 2 - Wonders of Nature! Embark on a week-long adventure exploring nature right outside our studio on the banks of the Delaware River and D&R Canal. Campers will unleash their creativity making art inspired by their natural surroundings in the manner of artist Andy Goldsworthy and other Earth Artists. Discover the fascinating biodiversity of the animal kingdom, from creatures nestled in our treetops to those thriving in the depths of underwater worlds. Guest biologists will help identify and share stories of the plight of our local wildlife friends through games like Biology Bingo! Get up close to some furry friends with a visit from a petting zoo. Check out the stations of materials available to you this week. Engage with a variety of materials and techniques to bring your observations of wildlife-inspired creations to life! Week 3 - Calling All Heroes! Awaken your creative superpowers and embark on a heroic journey of crafting incredible works of art. Explore the shape-shifting magic of diverse materials as you envision and design a better world through artistic acts of heroism. From sewing your cape to capturing everyday kindness on canvas, this action-packed week is a celebration of how art, in all its forms, becomes the ultimate superhero, saving the day with every stroke of creativity!
