Academy Summer

One fold at a time! 🪽📄

Discovery Academy campers in Ms. Debbie's class spent the morning with Counselor Leah learning the art of origami, transforming simple sheets of colorful paper into beautiful paper cranes. Through careful folds, patience, and creativity, our first and second graders discovered that even the simplest materials can become something extraordinary.

From concentrated faces to proud smiles, every crane was a unique work of art. We love watching our campers build confidence, strengthen fine motor skills, and express their creativity in new ways.

🎨 Great job, Leah, for inspiring such a fun and meaningful morning of artistic exploration!
