During each 2-week session, children rotate from workshop to workshop each day. The program is led by director Stacey Fix and other qualified workshop specialists. Children will have an opportunity to learn from professionals in each area of interest while building community and gaining an understanding and appreciation of ecology, art, performance and craft. The program’s goal is to encourage creative expression, build self-esteem, and foster a love of neighbor and nature. Workshop in the Woods is a program developed to support summer fun and community pride.

ART: This workshop will focus on painting, drawing, print-making and sculpting. These areas of art can be explored on canvas, paper, fabric, wood, clay, wire and metals.

PERFORMANCE: This workshop celebrates song, theater, dance, puppets, and music with the goal of an ensemble presentation as the final event each session.

CRAFT: This workshop teaches design and how to use tools to create useful items, developing skills for practical uses and creative expression.

NATURE: This workshop will introduce ecosystems, shelters, plant identification, animal observation, geology and an appreciation for unspoiled nature through hikes, art projects, journal-keeping, folklore and games.

COMMUNITY: This workshop supports the daily routines of the program. It also hosts team sports, group challenges, scavenger hunts and games. The goal is to promote unity. A Camp Denison restoration and beatification project will be one of the activities for community workshop.
