Oceanic Adventures

July 25-July 29, 8:30am-1:00pm

    More than 80% of our Earth’s oceans have never been explored which means there’s still work to do! Last summer, we investigated ocean life using watercolors, mixed media, painting, yoga and movement, and clay sculptures. This summer, we will continue our investigation into different elements of ocean life! Discover the soundscape of the ocean while practicing mindful movements and practice the art of painting in new ways! Do not fear, our camp will only be working with the undiscovered parts of our oceans and activities will not be repeated.
