JUST ADDED: Building Imaginary Worlds // Heroes, Villains, and the Stories in-between (ages 8 – 10)

Camp overview Join teaching artist Teeny Conway for a collaborative art-making experience where kids ages 8–10 create bold heroes, wily villains, and the imaginary places they call home. Campers will use drawing, writing prompts, and imaginative games to practice storytelling. They’ll invent creatures, develop stories, design original characters, and plan the landscapes, hideouts, and habitats that support their story. Using hands-on art materials such as cardboard, clay, paint, fabric, and recycled supplies, campers will construct their characters and build imagined realms. The week ends with an exhibition for family and friends, where campers proudly share the stories and characters of their completed world. This camp offers young artists a welcoming space to make friends while learning how to share ideas, solve creative challenges, and turn stories into three-dimensional artworks. Register for Building Imaginary Worlds About the teaching artist Teeny (they/she) is an art teacher, a proud dog parent, a great friend, and a lover of all things creative. During the week, Teeny teaches all ages of people all sorts of topics, like how to sculpat a mug or how to manage your breathing during a panic attack. Teeny’s artwork looks like a whole lot of things – bold colors and lines, big feelings, abstract shapes, paintings, colored pencils, clay sculptures, paper collages, woodblock prints, poetry, the list goes on (and will keep going on forever and ever).
