In this week-long workshop, campers will be exploring emotional literacy and personal strengths with collage, mask making and sculpture. Campers will be asked to explore their emotions, learn the meaning and purpose of their emotions, differentiate emotions from impulses, explore their strengths, and create an abstract self-portrait with clay.

Masks may be required in the classroom depending on community spread. Masks requirements may be subject to change. If you are not willing to wear a mask please do not register for our youth classes.
