Artists campers will be learning about are Georgia O'Keefe, Salvador Dalí, Cindy Sherman, Henri Matisse, and Norval Morrisseau.

Camp 5 July 31 - Aug 4

Ocean Week 

Age: 9+ (a more science focussed 9yro may prefer this week over the younger group). 
Miss Courtney is calling our slightly older ocean loving kiddos, this camp is for you!! Even though this camp is a bit more focussed on the science there will still be plenty of myth, whimsy, and wonder. We will get to know some fun facts and identification tips for some of our local ocean critters before getting a chance to test our skills later in the week. The school is our base camp, but there will be a full day at Bachman's Beach so kiddos will have the chance to learn and explore.  

We will also enjoy 2 days in Lunenburg where we'll dive into hands-on ocean science. One of our town adventures will be a visit to the fisheries museum followed up by ocean themed crafting. Our other adventure has us out on the water with the amazing folks from Lunenburg Whale Watching Tours! No guarantee that we'll see whales, nature calls the shots, but we shall go to sea and see what we can see. And yes, there are spaces available for family members who want to join us, please contact us for details. Back on land the team at Sustainable Oceans Applied Research, SOAR, will show us a highlight reel from their imaging sonar and lead us through using some fun ocean science gear. 

This camp is for kids 9 and over as it does have a stronger science focus, which may be more challenging for younger kids.

Camp 7 Aug 14 - Aug 18

Pull String Piñata-palooza! 

Age: 4+ 

Join Miss Courtney in creating a unique pull string piñata that can be used time and time again as instead of breaking it open, you pull strings to release a flap on the bottom. We will use paper-mache to sculpt our creations, with each camper creating their very own piñata. Want to make a pineapple? Jellyfish? Rainbow star? The options are endless and we will do our best to support them in making their vision a reality. When we aren't busy creating our masterpieces campers will have plenty of time to play in our wonderful forest space. Lounge time in hammocks, sponge tag, story time, watercolour painting, face painting, and plenty of time to just be kids. 

Please note that although we are creating art, we will still be spending the days outside weather permitting. 
Age: 5 and up

Camp 2 July 10 - July 14
