And that's a wrap on the first camp of the summer - Underground Art! It was a busy week - we learned about dinosaurs, bugs, small mammals, gems, and graffiti artists (a different kind of underground art!) and made ART about all of them! We made new friends, found old friends, and played human whack-a-mole (because sometimes you need a brain break😂) Stay tuned for some more one-off art programs throughout the summer, we want to encourage these creative minds to flourish❤️
