Connect and Create
Tue Jun 25 - Thu Jun 27, 2024

Ages 13 - 18
We’re so excited for Connect and Create camp.

Our camp will be a full and flowing mix of outdoor and creative play. Artists, activists and youth leaders will offer numerous workshops, as well as leave room to explore and follow camper's ideas. Let’s trade screens and virtual worlds for something real: some dirt, instruments, paint, a good rock friend, yummy food, iced tea, flowers, baby animals, skill building, problem solving, creative thoughts, tough questions and bold expressions of who we are becoming. Workshops vary from craft and dance to fishing and crafting the perfect snack.

Let us know if you have any questions, worries or cool ideas for something you want to do.  Sammy will be in touch with more details and the timing of the day.

$300/week. If you are applying for a ReKINDle scholarship there is no need to pay a deposit at this time. Please email andrea@theorchardschool.org to let me know you are applying.
