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.
Comic Books and Cartooning

They will then learn about facial expressions and figure drawing to enhance their characters. The week will culminate with creating a movie poster based on their own cartoon. Mediums used will be sketch pads, charcoal pencils, colored pencils, and colored markers.

We will be using all the parts of the flower in this weeklong exploration of beautiful camp grown flowers at Bellevue State Park!

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.
