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 -
Thanks for stopping by the blog. I'm currently on sabbatical this summer - you can read more about my sabbatical here: Personal Update - What's Next
Since I'm away from the blog I've decided to close comments. I love the interaction and discussion that happens with readers and since I'm not able to do that this summer, I'll be very much looking forward to that when I return in August.
