Creative Camp - Dabbling in the Arts

Dabble in Art, Shine in Creativity!

Dabbling in the Arts Camp will open up a world of artistic exploration for campers of all skill levels. Campers will enjoy a week of discovering new techniques, mediums and ways to express their unique ideas, including cooking, painting, solar photography, baking, sculpting and gnome making!

And get ready to beat to the sound of your own drum - literally!

Campers will design and build their very own working drum using simple materials and loads of imagination. Whether you're a rhythm master or here for crafting fun, this is all about self-expression, teamwork and getting a little noisy (in the best possible way)!

This camp offers a fun and supportive space to try new things, build skills and unleash their imagination. Running from Tuesday August 5 to Friday August 8 and open to campers 9 - 13 years old, Dabbling in the Arts Camp is the perfect place to let your creativity soar!
