Calling all makers, artists, and nature lovers! Join us in creating beautiful and unique botanical arts and crafts. Throughout our week together, the plants around us will teach us about their uses, providing both inspiration and materials for artistic expression.

Together, we will:

Use plant technology, fibers, and other garden materials to craft functional pieces to take home

  • Discover the plants around us and learn about their shapes, colors, and plant powers
  • Engage in craft activities such as cyanotypes and hapa zome (printing with plants)
  • Learn to work with natural materials for sculpting, building, and weaving
  • Use our senses to explore the plants around us by honorably foraging and harvesting plants for delicious teas, snacks, and natural color/dyes
  • Develop our reciprocal relationship with nature and practice caring for it by giving thanks for the materials it provides us with

Campers will take home their nature inspired crafts and art for families to enjoy.
