Fernwood, in collaboration with Starlight Studio, invites children to explore, restore, and express themselves in nature during this summer’s Art & Mindfulness in Nature Camp! Campers will immerse themselves daily in mindful nature walks, engage in ecological learning activities, and reflective nature-based art-making projects. Throughout their journey, campers will develop a deeper understanding of “self” in connection with the natural world and build confidence in experimenting and expressing their ideas in the art studio. All this while enjoying friendship, fresh air, and sunshine!
