Join us at our newest creation...
Twirl Play Garden
We will spend the week doing messy art, nature inspired works, explorations and observations outdoors.
We safely hosted whimsical outdoor camps all last summer and are kicking off Camp Twirl 2021 with more even more Creative Ingenuity.
Space is extremely limited as we are keeping our groups to 12 or less children. Register now to assure your space!
We will have eight exciting themes to choose from and specialty Pottery/Wood Shop camps.
Themes
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 little experimenters. The week will also entail a mystery to solve. Who trampled through the rainbow slime? Children will search for clues and evidence as they test out their slime making skills.
The Camp Out
Sticks and stones won't break our bones...we use them to create!
What's the best part of the summer....Camping of course. We will be creating our own mini camp ground right inside Twirl. The week will entail tent making, nature scavenger hunts, star gazing-constellation maps, home made trail mix, team building activities and more.
Tinkering Twirlers
Motors, gizmos and gadgets oh my...
Our little engineers 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.
Soaring Super Heros
Pow...Kaboom...Bam...
Twirlers to the rescue! Capes, cuffs, comics, cartooning and more. We will explore Andy Warhols influence through Pop Art, pose in the photobooth and save all from destruction.
Whimsical Wonders
What will our magic wands conjure up...
Wizard spells, fairy hideaways and mermaids hair 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.
Twirl Time Machine
Toto, I don't think we are in Alameda anymore....
We will design and create time machines to visit lands near and far, past and present. Our travels will include explorations through art, music, dance and food. We'll zip to several lands and time periods, visiting places like Mexico to make pinatas, Australia to play with rain sticks and Egypt to uncover mummies. Our travels will take place in the studio as well as outdoors.
The Makery Lab
Calling all inquisitive inventors...
This camp will focus on the process of making. A mistake isn't a mistake in art, its an expression of the process it took to get the end product. So lets 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.
Art In The Garden
Let's become inspired by nature...
This two day mini camp is short but sweet. 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 some herbs.
