Nature has always inspired art. This week will allow children to discover their natural artistic ability. We will explore a different medium everyday which the children will choose. Options will be: water color, clay, oil pastels, tie dye, photography, charcoal drawings, collage, beading, nature journaling, and other ideas that will be suggested by campers. Children are invited to sample and play with the various forms of artistic expression and will make their own portfolio. Adventure Trip to Point Lobos.

With the help of a grant from the San Lorenzo Valley Water District this camp will be a time for children to become active and help their local watershed. We will study the habitats along the San Lorenzo, test the water, use GPS tools to find creeks and rivers, clean up local beaches, and teach others about the health of our watershed. Campers will create short advertisement about the river.
