ART IN THE GARDEN

Let's become inspired by nature... 

We will not only be inspired by the fractal patterns and textures in nature but by the whimsical spaces one finds in the garden. Take a walk under an avocado tree or explore the berry bushes to find the magical homes of fairies and gnomes. Children will create their own renditions of these spaces as well as plant herbs, cook healthy treats and adorn the garden with nature inspired art. Field trips may include nature walks and trips to the nursery. (Ages 4-10)

THE MAKERY LAB

Calling all inquisitive inventors...

This camp will focus on the process of making. A mistake isn't a mistake in art, it is an expression of the process it took to get to the end product. So let’s get our hands dirty diving into all sorts of art techniques and mediums. From pottery to print making, textiles and beyond. Our Makery Lab will be lush with creative inventions. Field trips may include walks to the library for design inspiration. (Ages 4-10)  

MYSTERY SLIME & POTIONS

Is it metallic or fluffy or explosive? Let's put our experimenter googles on and find out! 

We have been trying out all sorts of fantastic slime concoctions in our studio and now we are ready to pass these recipes on to our experimenters. The week will entail a mystery to solve and end with a collaborative volcano. Children will search for clues and evidence as they test out their slime making skills. Field trips may include a walk to the police dept for a tour or a chat with an officer (Ages 4-10)

THE CAMP OUT

Time to bring out the fishing poles and camp fire smores! 

What's the best part of the summer....Camping of course. We will be creating our own mini camp ground right here at Twirl. The week will entail tent making, nature scavenger hunts, star gazing-constellation maps, home made trail mix, team building activities and more. Field trips may include nature walks. (Ages 4-10)

TINKERING TWIRLERS

Motors, gizmos and gadgets oh my...

Our little engineers and architects will explore new ways to use found objects. Dissecting toys, motorized contraptions, scribble machines, marble runs and more. Mini think tank sessions, group collaborations and experimentation with objects that fly, float and crawl will be part of our daily design challenges. Field trips may include walks to the library for design inspiration. (Ages 4-10)

SOARING SUPER HEROS

Pow...Kaboom...Bam...

Twirlers to the rescue! Capes, cuffs, comics, cartooning, animation and more. We will explore Andy Warhols influence through Pop Art, pose in the photobooth and save all from destruction. Field trips may include a tour of the firehouse. (Ages 4-10)

WHIMSICAL WONDERS

What will our magic wands conjure up...

Wizard spells, fairy hideaways, castles and a dragons lair are just a few of the whimsical adventures we'll embark upon. We will take nature walks to collect sticks for weaving, build tee pees and paint sea shells. (Ages 4-10)

Let's get messy with POTTERY CAMP!

Join us this summer in our Pottery/Mosaic Studio! Pottery is the perfect tactile art to introduce to children. Our class will go over basic concepts of wheel throwing, hand building and bisque painting. We will further explore texture and pattern through mosaic art towards the end of our week. (ages:5y-12y)

WOOD WORKING CAMP

Time to get our hands dirty and put our problem solving to the test! Dexterity, fine motor skills and three-dimensional thinking all come together in the craft of wood working. Join us for some fun in our wood workshop. (ages:5y-12y)
