Spring Break Eco-Art Camps

About:

Art meets science in Artist Boat’s 2023 Spring Break Day camp sessions! Campers will experience true science and art enrichment with the creation of Eco-Art and exploration of Artist Boat’s Coastal Heritage Preserve. Each camper will create high quality art projects and explore like a young naturalist. Each day is a different theme. Come for one or come for all!

Be prepared to spend all day outside!

We will be spending all 7 hours of camp in a non-climate controlled barn and outside. Please have your camper dressed appropriately for the weather.

What to bring:

• Show up wearing shoes for walking outside. NO Flip flops, Crocs, or Rainboots!
