STEAM learning is a great way to engage children.
At Camp Inspire children explore through nature and art.
Campers stretch and explore ideas that are interesting to them as they learn to reach beyond their capacity, free to explore playfully and embrace the opportunity to learn from mistakes. |
Artistically Inspired
Andy Goldsworthy is an environmental artist who creates sculptures using only items found in nature. He sorts, classifies, and arranges leaves, twigs, rocks, and sticks to create symmetrical patterns and natural sculptures. He photographs the creation and leaves it for nature to consume. |
Basket Weaving Basket weaving is an important skill taught in many cultures including Native American and people from the Gullah Culture. The Gullah are the descendants of enslaved Africans of various ethnic groups who live in the Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina. The campers learn about reed and sweet grass baskets and the function and significance of this art form. Solar Pizza Ovens Heat and energy are two standards that are covered in the third grade. What better way to explore solar energy than with a self-made solar pizza oven. The campers create their ovens out of pizza boxes. Combining science and the culinary arts was a big hit especially when they used the ovens to melt chocolate for homemade s’mores. All the delicious reward without the smoke of a campfire. |
