Summer Camp 2023 Themes

 

The Art of the Animal

Animals have been the subjects of artists around the globe since before recorded history. In this camp, we’ll explore a different art medium each day of the week, with a throughline of animals as our subjects and muses. 

 

This Camp is a DISASTER!

The natural world is full of disasters—fires, floods, earthquakes, and so on. But some of those disasters are necessary to animals’ survival! In other cases human activity has made those disasters more common--maybe too common. This camp explores how those disasters happen, how they affect animals (for better or for worse), and how we can respond.
