Atwater Photo Camp

Type: Art & Nature, Arts & Crafts, Arts Education, Creative, Day Camp, Mindfulness, Photography, Teen, Visual Arts

Description:

Atwater Photo Camp is a super fun and exciting 5 day photo adventure that inspires kids to explore their world in a deeper way. We’re thrilled to roll out all new field trips this year including galleries, museums, parks, the beach and so much more! Through clever games and activities designed to challenge the way we see, we build skills with camera, light and storytelling. All of this helps campers recognize, develop and celebrate their own unique voice.

Camp runs from 9am to 3pm, and each week is different. We make a ton of images and have a whole lot of fun! At the end of the week we host a photo exhibit for the kids to present their work to family & friends. Please let us know if you have any questions, we’d love to tell you everything!

Camp Wildcraft Art + Nature Camp

Type: Art & Nature, Arts & Crafts, Arts Education, Creative, Day Camp, Maker, Mindfulness, Nature, Outdoors, Tinkering, Visual Arts

Description:

At Camp Wildcraft we grow creative, curious, confident and caring kids who feel at
home in nature. We are small by design, a warm place where kids feel connected to one another and to the wild nature surrounding us. Our two campuses in Calabasas and Malibu lead to nature trails we explore daily. During weekly sessions, Campers create big, unique art projects, paint and draw, sculpt in wood and clay, sew a pouch to carry handmade nature journals, hike and find adventures, build forts from branches, go on scavenger hunts, and much more! Each afternoon campers choose from a changing menu of creative and fun activities including theater, fiber arts, baking and more. There is a pool where kids swim at our Calabasas site and at our Malibu location there is a creek filled with tadpoles that kids play beside daily. Each summer day at Camp Wildcraft is an opportunity to explore with all our senses, and find joy and wonder with new friends in the wild places around us.

All these combine to create a beautiful show and an exciting growth experience for your youngsters. Because we incorporate technical theatre elements, ALL children have the chance to create and take pride in many aspects of the process. Our 3 weeks of rehearsal culminate in a performance of “MATILDA the Musical” on the final 2 days of camp. Come have fun and learn together as we use the business of show to help your kids grow!
