Explore Nature Through Art!
Draw inspiration from the beauty of the river and surrounding trails as we combine outdoor exploration with creative expression. We’ll take guided walks along the river to observe and sketch flowing water, textured rocks, and towering trees, then bring those ideas to life through drawing and painting right onsite at the Mill.
Artists will learn simple perspective tricks and creative techniques to transform their observations into expressive landscape artwork. Throughout the week, we’ll experiment joyfully with a variety of materials, including watercolors, tempera paint, pastels, and oil pastels—discovering new ways to bring each scene to life.
This camp is all about creativity, curiosity, and connection—filled with hands-on exploration, playful experimentation, and the chance to make new friendships along the way.
