With lots of free time to just relax and let their imaginations run wild, kids love to paint, draw and just mess around with colors, designs and materials.

Well-trained camp counselors have an amazing variety of clever crafts ready to go, along with big doses of encouragement.

Confidence, creativity, group co-operation and a sense of the fun of the creative process itself makes art projects at camp especially enjoyable for kids.

Be sure to send them in old clothes on art project days, perfect for enjoying a messy, magnificent day of making masterpieces.

Nature’s treasures offer plenty of artistic inspiration for everything from collages to wind chimes and seashell castings;

… of course a big part of the fun is scouring the woods, fields and beaches for pine cones, acorns, leaves and berries.

Projects like nature panoramas, personalized memory boxes, feathered dream-catchers, bird-feeders and seed mosaics all encourage an appreciation and love of the mysterious and wonderful natural world.

After a rambling nature walk, kids can sit down together and create bright leaf stamp paintings, acorn people, pressed flowers, leaf rubbings or painted rock paperweights.

In addition, using materials like braided plastic bags to create jump ropes or necklaces also provides an important hands-on lesson in recycling and the importance of going green.

Not only is it fun to make your own funky, colorful attire, but these T-shirts and bracelets serve as happy reminders of long summer days with friends.

Personalized camp T-shirts can range from tie-die to make-your-own-cartoon and nature-themed stencil designs, and attire decorated with fellow campers’ names and/or handprints are big favorites.

Some camps incorporate theater by letting campers write and perform skits using their own funky creations.

Campers get to design and build the puppet theater, make up a story and write their own dialogue; they can even create simple musical instruments to accompany the show.

Hand-made masks are another perennial favorite, and kids can let their creative urges loose making funny, scary or just plain silly designs.
