🏗 Messy Architects Camp 🏗
July 13-17
Big ideas meet hands-on building during this imaginative week. Artists explore structure, balance, and design while creating with recycled materials, cardboard, loose parts, and unexpected textures. Think towers, tunnels, collaborative builds, and plenty of joyful mess as children explore how ideas turn into creations.
💡 Young Entrepreneurs Camp 💡
August 3- 7
Creativity meets problem-solving in this idea-driven week. Artists imagine businesses, design products, create branding, and explore what it means to bring an idea to life. Through art, collaboration, and playful planning, children explore confidence, leadership, and the freedom to imagine what they could create in the world.
