Art and Nature Camp 2026

Campers will experience STEAM projects that integrate creative exploration and problem solving by building structures including castles, skyscrapers, and simple machines with everyday objects such as cardboard, straws, and wooden blocks. We will look at photographs of famous buildings and explore architecture through the design process. 

Campers will learn how a tiny seed can grow into a plant, and consider how plants give us such a variety of food, herbs and flowers. We will have fun exploring the partnership between plants and pollinators, and spend time in the large organic garden on the PJS campus, taking care of the crops. We will celebrate our hard work by using our harvest to make yummy snacks! 

Children love to pretend. This session, our favorite stories and songs will lead us into our own make-believe world. Dress up and puppets will get our campers into character, but their imagination will be the main ingredient in these weeks of fantasy. Campers will take center stage with a performance for our families on the last day!

Grab your smock as we make wonderful artwork and take a closer look at color. Campers will use various mediums such as paint, watercolor, clay, natural materials and more. We will explore mixing colors, contrasting colors and black and white in our designs, taking inspiration from artists from around the world. We will end this session with our art displayed in a gallery for our campers and their families to enjoy!
