Earth Arts offer programs that foster awareness of place through nature-based learning and arts. We connect youth and teens to each other, the land, and the power of community. Our 2012 camps will be held in Hammond Hill State Forest. Children and teens become connected to the land through fun awareness games, observation, art, stewardship, challenges and team-building activities. Primitive skills, crafts, pottery, naturalist studies, tool-making, nature-based drawing, painting, theater, and creative writing are offered with indigenous stories and songs from around the world. Students build relationships to the land, each other, develop skills, and find a satisfying place within the community.
