What you'll do
Sing, play and create your way through this imagination-fueled weeklong class. Explore a range of realms both fantastical and familiar—from comic books to storybooks, the kitchen table to somewhere over the rainbow—as you dream up extraordinary creations.
Delight your senses and be collaborative as you work with your fellow creators to capture the eye-catching colors of the rainbow and make a mouthwatering make-believe meal. Investigate the artistic possibilities of a single line as you make a silly squiggle, then transform it into one-of-a-kind objects and animals. Be visionary
to invent heroic and happily-ever-after elements to include in your own spectacular superhero and fanciful fairytale. Queue up your imaginative ideas and get ready to create in this multicolored, super-powered, deliciously inventive adventure!
Note:
This weeklong class is more than just innovation-igniting projects—it’s an immersive experience full of delightful details, including games, songs, snacks (see Materials, below) and dress-up days designed to build community, bolster confidence and deliver loads of camp-away-from-camp fun.
The curriculum combines some of our most popular pre-K adventures. If you’ve taken our single-session Rainbow, Kitchen, Art, Superhero or Fairy Tale Adventure classes, your child will be familiar with some of the week’s activities—and have the chance to put a new spin on a project they’ve done before.
