Tote bags, tie-dye, dream catchers, and braided bracelets…what do these all have in common? They are all made of one common element, fibre! During Fantastic Fibres students will work on fibre-inspired creations while learning about their use in different cultures, for example Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese technique for making braids and cords.

Explore Four Elements in four days this Summer with Nature:Arts Educator Amy Lewis Sweetman - founder of AGRISCULPTURE. For children ages 8-12 located at Emmerich Tree Farm in Warwick, NY.

Each week, we'll start off with a themed story that will transport us to magical lands, teach us valuable life lessons, and spark our imagination. After the story, it's time to get crafty! We use basic art supplies you already have at home to make a connection to the story.

From birdhouses to bridges to forts, campers will observe, explore, and create spectacular structures and learn about the origins of building throughout history, from the first human shelters to structures that meet other societal needs like bridges or water dams.

Our Teen Camp is a great option for teens that love art and might be too old for, or bored by traditional day camps. Each one-week session will focus intensively on a single topic. Our goal is to instill in each camper the skills needed to continue to explore the subject independently. Teen Campers should dress appropriately for art and bring a snack each day. Full-day campers should also bring a lunch to be escorted to lunch and their next afternoon camp. See Camp FAQ for more info. Please note: Subjects listed are options - choose one subject for each half-day weekly session. Materials are included for all camps, except where noted in the camp descriptions.
