SPECIAL OPTION: STRINGS CAMP – JULY 6-10, 2015
Mary Schallert’s string camp is for kids aged 7-12 ready for the basics, with experienced players welcome for small group instruction & individual attention. WEEK 1: EARTH – JULY 6-10, 2015
Feel the earth beneath your feet, the soil in your hands — what will we grow together? This week we’ll explore the Earth element through building with clay, garden

ing, printing with plants, fairy structures and more. A labyrinth may even emerge by the end of the week!

WEEK 2: AIR – JULY 13-17, 2015
Join us aloft for a week of fun and invention with our lightest element, Air. We will build kites, chase bubbles, hone our balloon craft and travel the world, visiting different countries, cultures and cuisines along our floating journey. Who will create the most aerodynamic airplane from the simplest materials? WEEK 3: WATER – JULY 20-24, 2015
Like a winding river, we’ll discover new paths together as we explore the element of Water. Build small boats of paper, bark and wood, then see which vessels are the sturdiest. Learn how watercolor comes alive on the page when you know all the right techniques. Visit Baxter Bog, discuss aquatic life and the water cycle as well. WEEK 4: FIRE – JULY 27-31, 2015
Courage, creativity and enthusiasm are the sparks that light the inner fire. We will explore how art, nature and fire are connected, cook and bake delicious camp-style meals in our wood-fired cobb oven, and build courage, balance and strength through movement and various wilderness skills.
