Painting with Soap and Bubbles The campers will create three works of art this week, all incorporating soap and/or bubbles in unique ways to explore alternative solutions to traditional drawing and painting practices. For the first artwork, they will craft a still life drawing using pastels and a bar of soap to create a resist. In the second piece, campers will focus on rhythm, producing an action painting with dish soap and unconventional tools, incorporating discussions on contrast and rhythm. Lastly, for the third painting, students will unleash their creativity by painting with bubbles through a straw, adding additional elements with pastels to achieve the appearance of an underwater painting. In-line Skating 101 The goal of this course is for campers to utilize in-line skating as a means to stay fit and active both during camp and throughout their lives. Teaching elementary campers a lifetime fitness activity can be challenging due to skill and comprehension levels at this age. However, like riding a bike, once campers learn how to skate, they are likely to retain this skill. Introducing children to in- line skating at a young age instills confidence and imparts the knowledge that it is a healthy fitness activity they can engage in throughout their lives. Our aim is to provide students with various options to maintain fitness and health, with in-line skating being one of those valuable choices.
