Scrap Circus
June 13 – 17
You don’t have to run away to join the circus! Come to The Scrap Exchange instead!
Join camp leader Elyse Mrache as we create our very own circus, to be presented at a sideshow at the end of the week. We will construct dance and performance props then learn how to move with them, build instruments for Junk Jams, and design our own unique costumes. Enjoy cool tricks by local guest performers!
In addition to the dance, movement, and circus-themed fun, we will also explore outside, in the new Community Garden and surrounding outdoor areas, as we learn about local food, composting, and more.
Build Your World 1
June 20 – 24
Imagine time and space… inside and out!
In this camp led by Juliet Jensen, we will imagine, design, build, and decorate our own model dream parks, play spaces, and fun houses.
Inside, we will create miniature architecture and landscaping along with collage, drawing, and textiles. Outside, we will build and learn about sculpture while being inspired by famous environmental artists. We will also explore the Community Garden where we will create art installations using found objects. Throughout the week, we will have time to work on independent projects chosen by the campers.
Puppet Power
July 11 – 15
Did you know we all have puppet power?!?
Julia Gartrell will guide campers in making scrap-tastic puppets, as they write and perform an original puppet show, to be presented at the end of the week.
Using papier mache, wood, simple sewing, and other hands-on materials and tools, we will work with a wide range of techniques in one fabulously creative week. From tiny finger puppets to larger-than-life parade-style creatures, we will cover the gamut of puppet styles. In addition to the puppets, we will make a fanciful and interactive set, design posters, and put on a great show!
Build Your World 2
