Camps
Our camps are intimate with a ratio of 3 teachers to 18 kids. After beginning the day playing games and drawing to warm up, we then all dive into art making Each week besides our themed artwork we make books, spend some quiet time reading, spend time exploring our neighborhood through scavenger hunts and searching for and gathering our art materials.
Our Thanksgiving camps are a one day camp. Join us for one day or for all three. Our winter and Spring Break camps are weekly camps. We offer 11 weeks of summer camp beginning June 17th. We will begin registration for summer beginning in February. For all weekly camps we ask that you register for the entire week. No single days. Our camps fill fast. We do need to receive payment for camp in order to save the spot. Please email me with an issues you may have with payemnt online- info@purpletwig.com.
Meeting the CDC recommendations we have rearranged the studio for a natural social distance flow. We now have large tables to accommodate everyone, smaller groups of 4 children at each table- 10 total, shorter hours 9:00-12:00. Each week each child will be provided with their own materials, tools and smocks use for the week. We are requiring all children to wear a face shield each day. We are excited to be able to comply with these CDC reccomendations to keep children safe as we welcome them back to our studio. We could be shut daown by the governor at any time but we are still requiring the non-refundable deposit for registration.
During the week we will transform a plain box into an underwater ocean scene for all kinds of sea creature puppets. Each day the students will create a poriton of their theater and on the last day we will make puppets.

let's make a fort @home
We thought it would be a good time to make a fort so clear some space in your living room, on your porch or in your backyard. Using cardboard, fabric, recycled materials and more, we will all make forts. For this camps parents should be prepared to help with taping together and cutting windows and doors on the first few days, but after that we will be decorating and doing pretend play.
We will be supply the materials you will need but I am also sure you and your kids will come up with ideas that we didn't even think of so some materials will come from you.
Each morning we will have a Zoom meeting to go over the supplies for the day and the possibilities in making as well as sharing ideas.
