{6/1-5} Yard Art & Reclaimed Creations Camp

Ages 8+ | June 1–5 | 1:00–4:00pm
Taught by Anita DeLong

This creative summer camp invites students to transform reclaimed and recycled materials into playful, one-of-a-kind yard art. Over the course of the week, campers will design and build projects such as wind chimes, bird houses, garden stakes, and other outdoor decorations—learning how everyday materials can be repurposed into something beautiful and functional.

This camp emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and experimentation, with plenty of room for personal ideas and imaginative design.
