Calling all young artists of all skill levels to explore your creativity and express yourself artistically.

July 22 – 26: Summer Olympics
Go for the gold during this fun week of camp.

Work together with your fellow campers to complete sport-themed or puzzle-themed challenges and earn your spot on the medal stand.
July 29 – August 2: Puppetry Arts
Anything can be a puppet and anyone can tell a story! Work together to design and create unique puppets; and explore how to bring them to life. You will be introduced to the world of puppetry, create your own puppets and learn how to put on show at camp and at home with friends and family.
August 5 – 9: Paleontology 2.0
Roar into Stepping Stones as this camp adventure continues! Dig a little deeper during this “dino-mite” week as you explore paleontology through the lens of continental drift, geology, evolution and the Ice Age. Investigate modern-day, groundbreaking dinosaur discoveries, the mammalian make-overs that paved the way to human intelligence, Paleo art, theories and more. You have been naturally selected for this deeper dive into Earth’s past. See you there!
