Arts
Program
OUTINGS Summer Arts Program, which takes place annually in late June, connects children ages 4*-12 to their own inner creativity through offering creative processes while immersed in the natural environment. The program is designed around the four elements— Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
DETAILS:
The program runs Monday through Thursday, 8:30 am-1 pm.
*Friday is set aside for family potluck & Outdoor Art Gallery
$50 registration fee
$250 per child
20% sibling discount available for secondary child
30% discount available for CIT (ages 11-12)
Teacher/child ratio is 3 to 20
WEEKLY FLOW:
Monday [Earth, stewards]: clay and weaving projects
Tuesday [Fire, warriors]: fire houses, cobb oven focaccia mosaics, charcoal drawing
Wednesday [Wind, innovators]: book making, paper making, origami, and zines
Thursday [Water, protectors]: watercolor project, cyanotype
Throughout the week there is a concentrated story that is explored in different ways for each day. The story is told first without the visual reference of pictures; then made into a puppet show; and then into a performance where the children become the story. The final phase is applying the story into a mad lib!
Friday is not a camp day, but a day to attend a family potluck and experience an outdoor art gallery exhibiting the children's creative processes from the week.
*3 ½ yo will be considered based on independence level [i.e. potty training and language development]
