🎨 Camp Themes
Each camp session will feature a different creative theme! While all campers will explore pottery, painting, and mixed media every week, the theme helps shape the storyline, projects, and inspiration for their artwork. ✨
Some of our 2025 weekly themes include:
🏔 Mountain Magic – From forest creatures to painted peaks, campers will create art inspired by the wonder of the mountains.
🌊 Under the Sea – Dive into ocean-inspired projects like clay sea creatures, underwater scenes, and sparkling mixed media art.
🎨 Color Crazy – Explore bold, bright, and beautiful artwork through playful painting, printmaking, and colorful sculpture.
🌍 Around the World – Travel the globe through art! Campers will create projects inspired by different cultures and landmarks.
🐉 Mythical Creatures – Dragons, unicorns, and more! This week is all about sculpting and painting magical beings from imagination.
🌸 Garden of Imagination – Kids will build clay flowers, whimsical bugs, and dreamy garden scenes filled with creativity.
🚀 Outer Space Explorers – Create alien sculptures, rocket ships, and starry space landscapes—perfect for young astronauts!
🖼 Art Throughout the Ages – Travel through time and learn about famous art styles, from ancient cave drawings to pop art portraits!
No matter the theme, every week includes:
Pottery sessions (handbuilding, sculpting, glazing)
Painting projects (watercolor, acrylics)
Mixed media projects (collage, sculpture, and more!)
The themes just help spark new ideas and storytelling — every camper gets to work with the same amazing materials and try a wide variety of projects each week!
