children’s expressive art workshop

JANUARY 3rd & 4th 9AM - 4PM

In this 2-day camp we will be using art as a vehicle to support children in exploring their emotions & expressing their feelings and learning new ways to communicate their unique voice out into the world. It is our aim to strengthen children’s connection to themselves, each other, and the greater web of life through art projects, mindfulness & embodiment practices and activities that support children in expanding their emotional intelligence.

Fortunately, expressing emotions through art is fairly simple and fun! Creativity offers a fun avenue to express ourselves. In this workshop we will be using a variety of creative & interactive activities to support opening the heart and expressing ourselves. Children can expect to be engaged in drawing, painting, sculpting, playing games, taking part in creative movement practices, writing and lots more!

This 2-day camp will be held at Wild Roots Backyard Art Studio located in Northwest Fort Collins. From here we might journey off on short nature walks to explore and take part in some midday games. Please send your kiddo(s) with a morning snack, lunch and water bottle.

 This special camp is a unique collaborative project co-created by Wild Roots Studio & Wholesome Generations. Wholesome Generations is a local non-profit mission driven organization focused on strengthening relationships between adults/caregivers and children through instruction and practice of health, wellness, creative, relating, and communication skills. 

$150 per child. Crafts are aimed for elementary school aged children.
