Home Arts Summer Camps

This hands-on camp will immerse children in a variety of crafts that celebrate natural materials and teach them how to make their own healing products, delicious treats, and beautiful creations from scratch.

We’ll kick off by exploring backyard herbs, learning how to identify common plants in our environment and discovering their healing properties. Children will create their own soothing herbal teas, salves, and body oils that can be used for self-care, all while deepening their connection to the plants around them.

Next, we’ll head into the kitchen for a delicious adventure in sourdough bread-making. Children will uncover the secrets to creating wholesome, flavorful bread from scratch, and then we’ll churn fresh cream into butter, learning how to make rich, golden butter from start to finish. We’ll finish off our kitchen creations by making jam with fresh berries and learning the art of canning, so they can savor these homemade treats for months to come.

In the afternoons, we’ll explore the arts of the earth with hands-on crafts like beeswax candle-making, natural dyeing, soap-making, and weaving! Children will dip their own beeswax candles, use plants to create vibrant, plant-based dyes, and craft luxurious soap bars with just three natural ingredients. Plus, they’ll learn the basics of weaving to create beautiful fabric art, whether on a simple loom or with other natural materials.

This camp gives children the skills to create everything from healing herbal products to delicious foods, beautiful woven textiles, and eco-friendly crafts. Join us for an unforgettable summer of hands-on learning, creativity, and homemade goodness!

Join us for home arts camp. We’ll explore nature and discover the wonders of homemade creations in a way that’s just right for young kids.

We will explore the plants in our own backyards. They will get to smell, touch, and learn about different herbs, and even create their very own herbal tea blends (just right for little taste buds!). We’ll also make fun, soothing body oils and herbal playdough.

We’ll explore the magic of bread-making and make our own butter and jam to go with it.

They will make beeswax candles and natural soaps using just a few ingredients. We’ll also explore natural dyes, turning fabric into colorful creations using safe plant-based colors. 

Each day, we’ll have nature-themed storytime, where we’ll read about plants and the earth.

This camp is a perfect way for young children to build confidence, develop new skills, and connect with nature in a playful and meaningful way.
