Schools Out Art Workshops & Camps
Wild Roots Studio offers Children’s Nature Art Workshops on many of the days that Poudre School District is out of session. In these workshops it is our aim to strengthen kid’s art skills, create crafts inspired by nature, take in sustainability lessons and/or enjoy nature walks. This year's day camps will be held at Wild Roots Art Barn located in Northwest Fort Collins or The Art Lab located in Old Town Fort Collins. From these locations we will journey off on shorts nature walks to explore and collect nature for our crafts. Please send your kiddo(s) with a morning snack, lunch and water bottle. See more information and details below.
