Nature’s Canvas is for campers who love both creative expression and time in the woods. This week invites campers to experience the forest through the eyes of the artist, deepening their connection to place while exploring art inspired by the natural world.
Campers will spend their days immersed in the forest, playing nature awareness games, exploring trails, observing plants and animals, and practicing core Flying Deer skills alongside creative work. Using natural materials and traditional art tools, they will create meaningful projects that reflect their adventures, observations, and personal relationship with the land.
This fun-filled week blends imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and hands on art-making, all rooted in Flying Deer’s values of curiosity, respect, and connection.
