Sports and art camps are offered in the morning. Campers enrolled in those programs will not participate in the morning rotation of activities.

Camps are for campers entering grades 2nd through 5th unless otherwise noted.
Flower Power

We will be using all the parts of the flower in this weeklong exploration of beautiful camp grown flowers at Bellevue State Park! Campers will start the week with examining the flowers through observation and dissection. They will make sculpture and cyanotypes with parts of flowers, dip the petals and stems in paint for printing, and learn to make fabric dye. The second half of the week will be filled with learning about how to care for a garden, grow flowers, and the exciting art of flower arranging. All levels are welcome.
Puppet Making

In the Puppet Workshop we will explore how to build hand puppets using various materials such as: paper mache, acrylic paint and fabric for designing the puppet’s costume. We will cap off the week by showcasing our camper made puppets in a mini play to be presented to campers and staff!
