Arts & crafts
Outdoor exploration and nature play
Caribbean steel drums (with a final performance!)

Because Earth Day falls during camp week, we’ll incorporate nature-based learning, outdoor activities, music, and creative projects that help children build curiosity, care, and respect for the world around them.
Artist-in-Residence Highlight
Throughout the week, campers will work with Emily Lanxner as our artist-in-residence. Emily will guide children in hands-on Caribbean steel drum (steelpan) instruction, helping them explore rhythm, listening, teamwork, and musical expression. Campers will build skills and confidence each day as they practice together, culminating in a joyful final performance at the end of the week.
