Summer

The forest was our canvas this week in Wild Arts camp! With sticks, leaves, and rocks as our main media, we explored what it meant to create with nature. We learned from the best like Andy Goldsworthy, and went on to create our own masterpieces such as nature sculptures, survival bracelets, negative space paintings, and more! But even the best artists need a break for some river time in the summer heat, and we enjoyed all the usual Schoolhouse activities from rainy-day Six Feathers to Windigo, snake catching and more! Here’s a glimpse at all the fun, muddy, and creative adventures we had!

Rain or shine, we played our hardest this week at Poplar camp! When the rain came, we got to explore some historic buildings around the park and enjoy arts and crafts. But as soon as the sunshine returned, we explored outside to find creatures, splash in the river, and run through the woods. We turned over logs to find insects, listened to the birds way up in the trees, and even got to see (and touch!) snakes and turtles. It was a week of play and big adventures for our Poplar campers.
