Summer Camp at Epiphany School

Young artists will take advantage of summer weather to experience art outdoors. Students will focus on watercolor and colored pencil techniques in our neighbor Marilyn’s garden and enjoy building kinetic sculptures, painting carp fish kites, and assembling whimsical wood sculptures.

Students will develop a sense of community as they are introduced to or deepen into Brazilian culture. They will learn the physical and musical aspects of the art of Capoeira. Students will participate in the “roda” (capoeira circle) and peform “ginga” (the basic capoeira swing), “esquiva” (dodges), kicks, and acrobatics. Students will understand the importance of stretching, warm-ups, and strengthening exercises and learn the stories and philosophy of Capoeira.

Follow along as Mrs. Holmes teaches the basics of lettering and calligraphy using traceable worksheets and repetition. Using techniques from the book Learn to Letter with Luna the Llama, your little letterers will grow to love the art and design involved with handlettering and calligraphy! After all, why should grownups have all the fun?

GOOAAALLLL! Students will learn new skills and improve upon the ones they already have with Coach Larabee. Drills and activities are adjustable for age and experience levels. Shooting, passing, and dribbling will all be covered in this fun and very active club. Even non-sports fans will enjoy the various mini-games and drills! In addition to physical skill development, a strong emphasis on best effort, sportsmanship, and fair play will be promoted throughout the camp.

Young artists will take advantage of summer weather to experience art outdoors. Students will paint Fauvist animal portraits, make Tibetan wishing banners, and paint pottery for their plants. We will also practice watercolor and colored pencil techniques in our neighbor Marilyn’s garden.

Students are invited to learn a skill they will use for a lifetime and a hobby they will forever enjoy… sewing! No experience necessary for boys and girls to learn the basics and beyond. New students will learn machine safety and beginner sewing techniques, while more experienced students can expand on existing skills. The class will begin with a simple project, then students will advance at their own pace to more exciting and challenging projects throughout the week. Project options may include backpacks, phone cases, clothing, accessories, bags, games, stuffed animals, and more!
