HOWL’s Wild About Nature Art Camp is nestled among beautiful cedars along a winding creek at Optimist Cabin Land near Chums Corner, a magical setting that inspires creativity at every turn. Campers will explore a variety of nature-based arts including painting, clay sculpting, nature sketching, and nature art using treasures found along the forest floor and creek. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, children will discover their inner artist while connecting deeply with the world around them!

HOWL’s Wild About Nature Summer Camp is the ultimate outdoor adventure for young nature lovers! At HOWL, children enjoy the wonders of the natural world through hands-on exploration and discovery. While hiking forest trails, campers will track wildlife. Kids will unleash their creativity through journaling and art, play exciting group games, and build lifelong skills and friendships along the way. Whether your child is a budding naturalist or just loves being outside, HOWL’s Wild About Nature Summer Camp is the perfect place to explore, create, and grow — all while falling in love with the great outdoors!
