the heART studio - where creativity guides reflection, growth, and fun!

Think Picasso translates Van Gogh

This workshop is a space to slow down, have fun, and create by exploring mixed media—no pressure, no perfection, no art skill required. Each session offers simple creative prompts and guidance, while leaving plenty of room for personal style and play. As they create, students will be encouraged to try new things and to see “mistakes” as part of the process—building confidence, creativity, and a sense of growth along the way. Whether you already love art or feel unsure where to start, this is a welcoming space to explore and create, focusing on enjoying the process along the way. Feel free to join more than one session . . . the prompts will be different!

Get ready for a week of exploration, language, and adventure! This engagingsummer camp introduces students to Spanish, world cultures, and geography through a fun mix of classroom learning and outdoor activities.

Throughout the week, campers will build basic Spanish skills through interactive lessons, games, and simple conversations. Each day, we’ll “travel” to a different part of the world, exploring its culture, traditions, food, and geography. In the classroom, students will work with maps, stories, and creative projects, while outdoor activities bring learning to life through scavenger hunts, team challenges, and hands-on cultural experiences.

By the end of the week, campers will have a broader understanding of the world, increased confidence in using Spanish, and lasting memories from an exciting global journey.

Perfect for curious learners who love to explore, move, and discover new cultures!

Campers participate in hands-on activities that explore environmental science, earth science, geology, and marine science through experiments, outdoor exploration, and group projects. They learn about ecosystems, pollution, conservation, weather, climate, rocks, minerals, fossils, oceans, and marine life. Activities include building water filtration systems, creating food webs, identifying rocks and minerals, making fossil imprints, building and erupting model volcanoes, growing crystals, and creating ocean zone diagrams. Campers also take part in nature walks, environmental scavenger hunts, and outdoor observations where they collect and study natural materials like rocks, soil, and leaves. Throughout the camp, students work in teams to complete science projects and presentations, helping build teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. The camp focuses on interactive learning, creativity, and real-world science concepts so campers can better understand the Earth, environment, and oceans in a fun and engaging way.
