We’re THRILLED to offer our first Kids’ camp at Cats Eye this summer!
Do you consider your kiddo to be crafty, creative & imaginative? Do they enjoy making things just for fun? Are they always coming up with ideas for their next project? This mini Creative Kids’ Camp at Cats Eye could be the perfect fit for them, and get their creative juices flowing for their down time in the summer months. In addition to focusing on one main art project per day, they’ll also have the opportunity to learn a bit more about the 4 R’s - Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle - as well as play games and make some new friends.
Rachael will be guiding your campers through projects that include different printmaking techniques, cardboard construction, weaving, puppetry etc. with themes in storytelling, dress-up, and FOOD. And on the last day of the camp week, everyone will collaborate to set up a Gallery for a show-and-tell.
