Castle Camp

Step into a world of dragons, drawbridges, and design! At Castle Builders Camp, campers going into Kindergarten through 6th grade will spend the week dreaming up their own magical kingdoms—then bringing them to life using cardboard, recycled materials, and their boundless creativity. To create the best experience for campers of all ages, younger campers will be paired up with older campers.

Throughout the week, campers will:

• Learn basic building and design techniques
• Collaborate with fellow young architects
• Paint, decorate, and personalize their castles
• Explore storytelling and imaginative play

We’ll wrap up the week with a Royal Gallery, where families are invited to tour our cardboard castle kingdom and celebrate the creativity on display. Gallery starts at 11:30am with light refreshments.

This half-day camp includes all materials, engaging lessons, and outdoor play.  No artistic experience necessary—just big ideas and a love of making!
