Pottery is a physical form of art. We will be working with self-drying clay to make things such as plates, bowls, mugs, jewelry holders, and anything else the students can imagine. We will be learning about different techniques such as throwing clay, pinching, slipping, coiling and glazing. At the end of the week, students will be able to take their pieces home along with the ability to use their knowledge to make more pieces on their own. -
Plants are the foundation of our survival, as a food source for us and for the animals we can eat, and as medicines to reduce pain, calm nerves, reduce inflammation, soothe a sunburn, and many more. Some plants can also cause severe health issues to humans and our pets. Students will build a medicinal plant book, include pictures or pressed specimens, identify their common and scientific names as well as their uses to heal or harm. At the end of the week, they get to keep their book, and hopefully add to it. -
Jewelry Making: We will choose two kinds of jewelry to make, based on student choice (metal/wire, bead, macrame, leather, natural fibers, stone, glass, clay). Students will design their own creation and learn techniques for making their design). By the end of the week, students will have either something to wear or something to gift of their own creation. -
In this class we will learn different techniques of painting and drawing. We will learn what types of paint to use to create different pieces as well as what levels of graphite to use to achieve various styles of drawings. We will work with recreating objects realistically and abstractly using color theory. Students will be able to work alone or with another student to expand their knowledge and skills. -
Photography is a way to capture a memory, a moment in time forever frozen. In this camp, students will learn how to enhance the beauty of a moment, draw the eye to a specific point, adjust the way the camera captures light, focus on an object, and how to edit photos to change the story the photo tells. We will work with a whole array of styles such as portrait, landscape, cityscape, architecture, and object focus. Along with that we will learn to see the world from a different view to find the beauty in the ordinary world. -
We are so excited to add this new art class where students will learn the art of soap making, create different soaps to take home to use, sell or give as gifts. Half of our time will be spent on soaps and the other half will be candle making, which is much more complex than we might think. We'll start with hot candle making, then develop new soaps using cold press and then make melted was candles. Students will decide on different designs, shapes, fragrances and colors. All of their creations will be sent home with students at the end of the week. -
Veterinary medicine is an incredibly popular science for young people. It is also pretty challenging, as the patients veterinarians treat cannot tell them what hurts or how they feel. In this camp, students will learn about hematology (study of blood), parasitology (common skin, fecal and blood parasites) and microbiology (microscopic organisms which cause diseases). They will do case studies on small and large animal diagnosis of diseases based on symptoms and winners of the case-study contests will win prizes. They will also practice dissection, identifying muscle tissue, veins, arteries, bones and skin. Lastly, they will practice suturing techniques. Their drawings and case studies will be added to their notebook to use as a reference for their future studies.
