Week 2: July 1-5 (closed July 4)
Nature Tales with Handmade Puppets (rising 1st - 3rd grade
Ms. Courtney will combine her love of storytelling using the nature that surrounds our campus to create a puppet play with the children. They will make puppets and scenery from natural materials and perform a puppet play based on the plants and animals of our local region. The camp will also include songs and games in Spanish and nature walks to the levee. Ms. Courtney is Camellia's Sunflower Kindergarten teacher and prior to joining Camellia, she was a Waldorf grades teacher as well.
Week 3: July 8-12
Clay Creations (rising 1st - 8th grade)
Back by popular demand! Pinch pots, coil pots, slabs, score and slip. Together with Ms. Schaffer, (current Camellia Waldorf School 6th grade teacher), we will play with clay, learning some new ceramic art skills. Pieces will be painted with ceramic underglaze and then fired twice, the second time with a clear coating of glaze to make all pieces watertight and food-safe. This class is for rising first through eighth graders.
Week 4: July 15-19
