Playful Pretenders: Garden Growers

What You'll Do

Dust off your green thumb and dig into a weeklong garden adventure. Learn how plants grow, flourish and nourish as you sing songs, move your body and make art inspired by flowers and food. Cultivate creative ideas and let your imagination bloom in a backyard garden of your own invention.

Freshen up your drawing skills and BE VISIONARY as you color a bed of creative-looking, silly-smelling flowers, plus a beautifully embellished box to “plant” them in. Meet the birds and bugs that make your garden blossom, singing songs to celebrate bees, worms and other friendly fertilizers. Make like a plant and grow, striving to BE DETERMINED as you move your body through the slow and steady life cycle of a sprouting seed. Finish the week by enjoying the fruits (and vegetables, and grains) of your labor as you create incredible edible art from an array of snacks.

Note: This weeklong class is more than just imagination-igniting activities—it’s an immersive experience full of delightful details, including interactive games, song, snacks (see Materials, below) and dress-up days designed to build community, bolster confidence and deliver loads of camp-away-from-camp fun.
