Registration IS OPEN!! All NEW Camps at Camp heARTful!

Hey isn't this exciting news? I am dreaming and scheming these days and I am excited to launch 3 fun-faith-filled-learning-packed art camps for this summer 2018! Same great price, same great studio!

On-line Registration is NOW OPEN 

HERE 

  CAMP DESCRIPTIONS:

NEW! The Apprentice Atelier!
This is a new series in the studio. So if you have have come to art camp before this might just be what you are looking for.  In this camp, kids will study the life of an amazing Master Artist. Campers will complete projects centered around the artists life, create art the way the artist might have done, using similar tools and mediums. There is no better way to understand an artist than to create like them.
AND there is no better way to start this series than with one of my favorite artists, Van Gogh.

NEW! Paths and Purpose
What path are you on? Do you have a map? Where will your journey take you? In this camp kids will explore who they are in Christ and complete several projects having to do with identity and purpose. I want each camper to understand that they are able to re-orient their lives with the right tools and our Big God! Good Stuff!

NEW! Camp Creation!
I have been wanting to do this camp for a while now and can't wait! Campers will look to nature for inspiration, as well as, the Creation story. Being a maker of beauty is Biblical! Projects will center around the days of creation. "And God saw all that He had made and it was very good." Gen. 1:31

Camp heARTful Session II - WOW Wonderful!

As you can see Session II of Camp heARTful was filled with happy hearts and lots of Art! Campers learned about how to see themselves as Children of God and that the Lord has a plan and a purpose for each of them. We used lots of different mediums- watercolor, collage, acrylics, and clay.  Check out the fun that was had by all! Until next summer,Enjoy!

Last Day of Camp HeARTfull

Lesson #5: TRANSFORMATION

WOW! What a week it has been! I hope you can see the joy of learning and creating on these camper's faces. I have had such a blast with these wonderful kiddos!

On our last day together, we looked at the idea of being changed into a new creature! In our heartful bible time we looked at scriptures that talk of this very thing.  For example:

2 Cor. 5:17 tells us:Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 

On the board is ways in which to live out that transformation found in Romans 12:9-16

For our creative project we created specimen box butterflies. The campers had a great time creating their own beautiful butterflies as a representation of themselves and what happens when you give your life to Christ, you become a new creation alive this the Spirit of God living in you! Pretty awesome.  

We also shared our week with our parents with a mini art show. The perfect ending to Camp HeARTful. If you are interested in Camp HeARTful 2 contact me via this blog.

Lesson #5: Freedom

Can't you hear the Braveheart Battle cry?Freeedooommmm!

In our heartful bible lesson today we discussed what it means to be enslaved to sin. I asked the campers what kinds of ways are people entangled in sin. Here again is a great word picture from the bible about  being enslaved to something.

 I just love the answers these sweet children gave me. Things like: bad attitudes (had to smile at that one lynn), rebellion, back talking, lying, stealing, rolling your eyes.

These campers also talked about what keeps them enslaved. But the best part, was that they wrote a small prayer in their journals asking Jesus to help them with whatever it was. Priceless!

For their art project we collaged a heart and stamped and painted then put Galatians 5:1 across our hearts, figuratively and literally.

Camp HeARTfull Art Camp is Amazing!

Supplies! Check. Folders! Check. Bible Lessons! Check. Sign Made! Check 

Everything is ready.

Camp HeARTfull is named for a heart-full of God's word and ART. So each day the campers do a bible lesson and an art project connecting the biblical truths they learned that day. It is a great way to make it all stick! We had an awesome time learning who God created us to be AND doing fun art on day 1!

This is the best of bible study and art lessons for kids! 

Lesson 1: Plan and Purpose- God has a plan and we have a purpose! 

Squirt gun painting and material prep!

As we prepared our materials the kids learned that they also have a purpose. We too, are created with purpose and this is revealed to us as we grow in the strength and knowledge of our Lord.

The aftermath of squirt gun painting-doesn't it look like fun?

The purpose of their painting was finally revealed and they created a journal to hold their bible study lessons in for the week. From those sweet faces, it looks like they had fun creating.

More to come tomorrow!
