Have Fun Learning New Art Skills at Day Camp

Summer day camp not only gets kids
out running and swimming in the sunshine,
it also lets them unleash
their artistic creativity in so many ways.

From nature collages to friendship bracelets,
hand-made musical instruments
and wearable art, kids’ day camp offers
a lively mix of artistic endeavors.

Brilliant paints, vivid markers, colored clays
and all the amazing treasures of the woods
and fields provide so many ways to have fun
creating masterpieces and memorabilia
at summer day camp.

Painting, pottery,
ceramics and 3-D art
are all camp
favorites …

… and kids in day camp love delving into piles
of canvas, clay, crayons, paper mache stencils
and feathers to fashion their own unique
and exciting artwork.

With lots of free time
to just relax and let their
imaginations run wild,
kids love to paint,
draw and just mess around
with colors, designs
and materials.

Well-trained camp counselors
have an amazing variety
of clever crafts ready to go,
along with big doses
of encouragement.

Confidence, creativity, group co-operation and a sense of
the fun of the creative process itself makes art projects at
camp especially enjoyable for kids.

Be sure to send them in old clothes on art
project days, perfect for enjoying a messy,
magnificent day of making masterpieces.

Nature’s treasures offer
plenty of artistic inspiration
for everything from collages
to wind chimes and seashell
castings;

… of course a big part
of the fun is scouring
the woods, fields
and beaches for pine cones,
acorns, leaves and berries.

Projects like nature panoramas,
personalized memory boxes,
feathered dream-catchers, bird-feeders
and seed mosaics all encourage
an appreciation and love of the mysterious
and wonderful natural world.

After a rambling nature walk,
kids can sit down together and create bright
leaf stamp paintings, acorn people,
pressed flowers, leaf rubbings
or painted rock paperweights.

In addition, using materials like braided
plastic bags to create jump ropes
or necklaces also provides
an important hands-on lesson in recycling
and the importance of going green.

Wearable art is a big hit
at summer day camp.

Not only is it fun to make your own funky,
colorful attire, but these T-shirts
and bracelets serve as happy reminders
of long summer days with friends.

Personalized camp T-shirts can range
from tie-die to make-your-own-cartoon
and nature-themed stencil designs,
and attire decorated with fellow campers’
names and/or handprints are big favorites.

Whether a brightly-hued friendship bracelet,
stenciled baseball cap, colorful beach bag
or intricate lanyard necklace, wearable art
often becomes a treasured keepsake
of happy camping days.

A cool mix of visual arts
and theater,
creating sock puppets
and simple marionettes …

… encourage kids to have
fun creating colorful
characters and dialogue.

Some camps incorporate theater by letting campers
write and perform skits using their own funky creations.

Campers get to design and build the puppet theater,
make up a story and write their own dialogue;
they can even create simple musical instruments
to accompany the show.

Hand-made masks are another perennial favorite,
and kids can let their creative urges loose
making funny, scary or just plain silly designs.

Summer camp is a special place where kids
can try all kinds of new activities,
from sports to crafts and nature activities.

In the process of having fun playing games
and creating art with their fellow campers,
they just may discover a little more
about who they are and who they want to be.

Day camp will always
be a summer staple.

Organized strategy incorporating fun and education
makes a great summer day camp program, and is all
the camp your child needs this year and every
summer.

At Maplewood Country
Day Camp parents will find
programs for all ages.

Whether 3 or 14,
each camper will feel
supported and included.
