Description


Who says you need to pack a backpack and brave the elements to experience the wild wonders of nature? At The Great Outdoors Odyssey, we bring the magic of forests, streams, and gardens inside CCAC for a weeklong exploration of art inspired by our natural world. Your child will create imaginative projects using leaves and petals, learn about habitats and the water cycle, and capture the spirit of critters both big and small—without bringing a bunch of mud back into your house. Guided by skilled instructors, young explorers will experiment with new techniques, stretch their creativity, and gain a fresh perspective on the earth’s vibrant life. It’s an indoor journey that broadens their horizons, nurtures their curiosity, and celebrates all the beauty nature has to offer.

Grades K – 6
