Summer Camps at Art on the Brix
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/29/2016
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
Each camp offers unique experiences that encourage kiddos to express themselves while making fun memories each and every day. Our camp instructors are skilled art professionals/ teachers excited to lead the kids in a range of individual and group projects, using a wide variety of art techniques.
Our field trips will take us to the Planetarium, Red Rocks, Matthew Winters, and rock climbing. These excursions will involve transportation planning and accommodating group preferences/needs, so the sooner you register, the sooner we'll have all those pieces in place.
Check the registration pages for images and descriptions of the projects planned for each camp.
Each day will include some outdoor time, weather permitting.

ART ACTIVITIES: From inspirational boards, to customizing individual yoga mats and meditation pillows, these yogis will be in their best summer headspace. We'll be working on Sun catchers, mini terrariums, flower crowns, rolling rock paintings, mandala sculptures, and making a meditation candle throughout the week. All will be great souvenirs on their Yogi Journey. We're hoping to create a natural combination of mindful thinking, art-making, and movement activities interspersed throughout.
