EmpowerMe Arts

A few people have asked what kids actually do at Outdoor Art Adventure Camp, so here’s a little peek. 🌿🎨

This isn’t a sit-at-a-table-all-day craft camp.

Campers create art, explore the outdoors, take nature walks, collect materials for projects, play games, get messy, cool off with water play, and learn how creativity connects to the world around them.

Some of what we’ll do:

• Nature-inspired art projects
• Tie-dye shirts
• Splatter painting for emotions
• Water play
• Group games
• Music exploration through nature
• A surprise instrument build
• Lots of hands-on creative time

Each camper gets to make their own one-of-a-kind tie-dye shirt to take home, which is always a favorite.

After our June camp, one parent told us:

“There’s something different here. I don’t know what the magic was, but my kids WANTED to come back every day — and they don’t usually say that!”

And the kids were asking:

“When can I come back?”

🎨👕 Last year, our campers had a blast learning how to make their own tie-dye T-shirts! Watching their creativity come to life was so much fun.

It’s hard to believe that in just two short weeks, we’ll be back at it—creating, exploring, and making memories outdoors!

We’re busy getting all the supplies ready to kick off camp, and we can’t wait for another summer full of colorful, messy fun.

If you haven't booked your camper's spot yet, sessions still have room! We hope to see you at Elk Run Farm for some creativity this summer! https://empowermearts.opus1.io/w/summercamp
