ART CAMP FOR KIDS

ART CAMP FOR KIDS *

Born near the beautiful waters of Cape Cod, The Rainbow Weavers is a small-but-radical art camp for kids. It was built to strengthen the imagination and creative spirit of each child.

At camp, children will create large scale works of art, join together to design an art show for friends and family and have their work published in our book at the end of the year! Kids will also learn to tap into their innate skills of reading energy, working with crystals, jamming out together at our dance parties and leading sound ceremonies- all tools that help to preserve and protect innocence and imagination.

Throughout the week, kids build confidence, learn teamwork skills, expand their imagination, and become more connected to their creative spirit.

Sample Daily Schedule

Two kids are sitting on the floor, creating a colorful abstract painting on a large canvas, surrounded by various paints, brushes, and art supplies.

MORNING CIRCLE 10-10:30am

The day begins as a group to collectively strengthen the imagination. Each child picks a crystal from the collection and brings it to the circle sharing their connection to it. Then kids split into pairs for energy readings. Lastly, children will travel to each kids work for art reflections, they discuss what the piece makes them feel, see, or any other reflections they have.

On the first day of camp, a Life Weaving Ceremony takes place where kids venture into their unique creative spirit.

ARTIST STUDIO HOURS 10:30am-12pm

Kids work on their individual and group art pieces.

LUNCH 12-12:30pm

Kids eat and hang with new friends.

DANCE PARTY JAM SESH / NATURE EXPLORATION 12:30-1:30

Activities vary depending on weather and the group’s preferences. One day may be a day to explore and play in the beautiful nature around us another may be a dance party. Kids create a playlist and have a dance party-concert where they turn into The Rainbow Weavers band jamming out to their favorite songs! Paint brushes for microphones, air guitars and lots of twirling and jumping, every jam sesh is different!

SOUND BATH 1:30-2pm

Kids will lead sound baths with crystal singing bowls, drums and more! Children learn how to create harmony by listening to one another. Ending the day in a calm and grounded reset.

What will kids create?

Kids learn how to journey into their own creative realms so they can connect to their unique energy, imagination and visions to create art that comes from the magic within!

We work with multiple mediums from paint to found items in nature depending on how the kids’ art wants to be expressed. Each child will take part in creating:

1 large scale painting to be displayed in the art show
daily artwork inspired by lessons, explorations, and games
1 large scale collaborative group painting

Main ingredients to our curriculum:

creative expression - magic - play - friendship

An Environment of Kindness

We believe that kids are most capable in an environment of kindness. In our small groups, kids are able to feel supported by other children. This sense of belonging allows them to open up and share their unique creativity with confidence.
Guided by Unique Spirit

Through art, kids are able to connect to, strengthen, and express the magic within them. We use Life Weaving Ceremonies to strengthen the imagination and creative spirit so kids can create art as unique as themselves. This teaches kids that their uniqueness is to be celebrated.
Movement + Play

We understand that play is nourishing to the creative spirit. Rainbow Weavers play and explore nature each day. Through dance parties, walks, and lots of laughing the kids are able to release stuck energy and welcome fresh inspiration. We see play as an essential nutrient for thriving in life.
Kids Supporting Kids

Kids celebrating each other’s unique creations helps build confidence and belief in themselves as creative beings. During daily art reflections, kids share what they see in each other’s developing art. Kids also work together throughout the week on group projects that facilitate teamwork. The art show allows the group to find collective purpose in a larger mission.

“Hi, I’m Leo. I like The Rainbow Weavers so much because it’s like I have lots of friends, that’s number one. Number two, I loved it a lot because it’s small and I loved all of the kids including our teacher!”

Tools for kids to shine

The creator of the camp, Alex, believes that when we join our spirit and our body through our creativity we create a resonance that is unique to us and helps us to feel alive. As there is so much pulling kids away from their unique nature, they need practices that connect them back to themselves and back to life. Artistic expression is one way kids can feel in love with life. That they can use these tools they learn at camp whether it’s reading energy, supporting other kids, believing in their creations or bringing new ideas into the community- everything they learn here is to help them shine in the world!

In an effort to make The Rainbow Weavers camp more accessible to local kids, we have limited scholarships and reduced rates available. To inquire, please send us an email.

Thank you for making the world a more colorful place!
