Creative reuse is the process of taking used or recyclable materials and turning them into works of art, home decoration, or other useful objects. At UpCycle, we rethink our notion of waste, collecting cast-offs from our community to serve as creative art materials. We collect, organize and prep items for use in a variety of creative capacities.

We are getting so excited to kick off the incredible summer of artmaking camps we have planned! Each week has a fun theme and a whole host of fun and unique upcycling projects lined up, but we have a few weeks we still need staff for. If you have art teaching experience and are interested in teaching a few weeks of elementary school camps, please send your resume to [email protected].

More information about the camp dates and descriptions can be found here: https://www.upcyclecrc.org/camps.html
