Mythical Creatures


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/21/2023
Beyond our realm lies the eternally unknown... We will create mythos and explore our newly-minted creatures through artistic expression, including mask making, collage, and on site exploration of the natural landscapes of Tower Grove Park.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Camp Create is our favorite time of year, where we get the chance to merge the worlds and provide high quality arts education to STL youth while supporting local artists; providing a platform for both the student and the teacher that inspires self actualization in a traditional summer camp environment, creating unique learning opportunities. This means no screens, tons of yard games, high-level art projects, and a chance to dream under the canopy of historic Tower Grove Park.  Through discovery-led learning, we empower our campers to realize their full potential and build self-confidence.

Heres a general overview of what can be expected at Artscope's Summer Camp Create.

Overview:

  • Camp Create is a week-long, immersive, artist-led experience.
  • Our staff is entirely made up of local artists.
  • Students will explore community, arts, nature and facilitation during their week at Camp Create.
  • We lead by example and model behavior that builds community within camp.
  • We are here to support the success, enrichment, and joy of each child. 
  • We are discovery led, and encourage students to identify and reflect on their interactions with the world around them through the lens of lifelong artistry.
  • We strive to see ourselves in each other, and to approach each day with genuine empathy and connection.
  • We strive to utilize education as a collaborative art form, and are so excited for our cohort to learn, create, and discover right along with your camper!
