Class Experience

 Welcome to Art and Movement Wild!
This high-energy summer camp is perfect for kids ages 5–9 who love to move, create, and explore! Campers will dive into the world of abstract art while engaging their senses and unleashing their imaginations through playful movement and hands-on projects.

New for 2025:
Each of our summer camps for ages 5–9 now includes a literacy component designed to support early reading comprehension and language development. Through storytelling, interactive discussions, and creative literacy activities tied to each camp’s theme, we help young learners build essential skills in a joyful, organic way — where reading supports and enhances their art-making.

Camp Highlights:

🎨 Action Art Inspired by Abstract Expressionists
Campers will explore the wild side of painting with techniques like splatter painting, action painting, and color fields — all inspired by iconic abstract artists.

🖌️ Color Theory in Motion
Your child will learn to mix colors, experiment with contrast and harmony, and bring their own bold visions to life through expressive brushwork and dynamic movement.

🌀 Sensory Art Explorations
From air-dry clay and paper mâché to gooey slime and body-safe paint, campers will explore a wide range of textures and materials that spark creativity and ignite the senses.

🧠 Creative Literacy Sessions
Each day features a short story or read-aloud paired with art and movement activities that build vocabulary, support comprehension, and connect language to creative expression.

🤸‍♀️ Movement + Expression
Expect music, dance, and big body movements that allow kids to physically engage with their artmaking — a great way for wiggly kids to channel energy into creativity.

Loved:

My kiddo is high energy so I was worried if she could pay attention, but she seems really engaged with her art projects and even wanted to stay longer to keep working on them!

Improvements:

It would be nice to have a quick overview/summary of the activities because the kids don’t really tell us.

Loved:

My child had a friend attending and enjoyed self

Improvements:

The description of the class did not match the activities - we specifically signed up for this camp (a more expensive option for us) for the art described activities - different mediums, color theory, etc, and the projects my child came home with did not reflect the description at all. We chatted about the camp activities each day, and my child indicated that there was no color mixing, no painting with unique tools (splatter paint, etc) or body parts. There were the things we were expecting
