Participants will enjoy the wonderful teachers and activities in woodworking, imaginative play, and studio art stations. The magic begins in the Beehive building, and our time together is flexible for exploring and playing on Catlin Gabel's beautiful 67-acre campus. Dive into the imaginative, process-oriented world of play through stories, songs, art, and games. Construct with an open-ended use of mixed media both inside the classrooms and outside under the trees. We will make art using lots of cardboard, tape, scissors, glue, paint, fabric, feathers, and clay. Everyone will build in the woodshop with real hand-powered tools, take apart electronics, and rebuild their own 3-D inventions. We'll also have fun with familiar activities such as running through sprinklers on hot days, making snacks with delicious recipes, and constructing environments in the sandbox. We'll gather each day to enjoy friendship, stories, and a lunch from home. Each session will include exploration, experimentation, and creation. Come learn, play, and have fun with us!

Where do ideas come from? How do we turn an idea in our mind into something people can hold in their hands and read? How do we know if the idea in our mind would be best as a poem, a story, an essay, a comic, or a story that is told instead of written? How might words and images work together to tell a story? Or even words and music? Can movement help get our creative juices flowing? Come explore these questions and more as we delve into writing, explore different genres, dabble with art, learn about the publishing and book-making process, and gain inspiration from other writers and artists, as well as the world around us.
