Krazee Arts Camp

Krazee Arts Camp is one of our summer camps for kids that we run. It’s for 7- to 11-year old kids and is an awesome chance for them to try different artistic expressions in a very low-pressure environment. This isn’t a performance camp – more just a chance for them to try new things and make new friends.

 

Krazee is actually an acronym which actually stands for Kreative R-tists Always Zany, Exploring & Engaging – okay, so maybe we came up with the acronym after we came up with the name but it works!!

Registration went live for our arts camp this morning and so far things are running super smooth. We’ve designed this camp as an invite event which means we are asking families from our church to have their kids bring a friend from school or their neighbourhood with them to camp. If the camp is full of kids from our church then we will have missed the mark on this camp. At the same time if the camp is full of ONLY community kids then we are losing the opportunity for kids from our church to use this as an invite event. It’s a bit of a balancing act but things are looking good so far!

A couple of weeks ago I posted our recap video from Krazee Arts Camp last year and if you’re interested in watching that you can click here to check it out.

Creative Chaos – Krazee Arts Camp

This post is part of Carlo’s Creative Chaos series.

We ran a camp last summer for 8- to 11-year old kids called Krazee Arts Camp. The focus was on just letting kids experience new forms of artistic expression without feeling any kind of pressure to produce good art. Every day kids rotated through six art workshops with krazee names – Art Attack (arts & crafts, sort of), I’ve Got Rhythm (dance), Joyful Noises (music), Running Wild (sports & games), Act One (drama), and Expressions By Hand (puppets).

Overall the camp was a homerun but the real highlight was our Variety Show on Friday night. We brought all the kids back and they brought parents, neighbours, grandparents, friends, etc etc to show them the great art stuff they had been doing during the week. It was a great night!

To give you a bit of a feel for what we did, here’s a little recap video -

I think I’ll be using these guys to design some promo stuff for Krazee Arts Camp 2008.
