SUMMARY:Camp Danger Week 2 at the VAE Studio\, Ages 8+\, August 8-12\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Both Weeks of Camp Danger are SOLD OUT with full waiting lists. \nBoth Weeks of Camp Danger will follow the same curriculum with some alteration.  \nTo the Parents: The only screen-time your camper will have at Camp Danger is with a hammer and screwdriver in hand\, taking the screen apart or maybe even smashing it. Your camper will learn how things are made by disassembly and by creating something new from something old or discarded. With supervision\, they will take risks\, learn to be safe while using sharp tools\, power equipment and forging iron. Campers will be taught how to safely and correctly use these tools\, and once they demonstrate responsible use\, they will earn the right to use them to create pieces of art. \nTo the Campers: At Camp Danger\, we’ll be swimming every day at Lake Paran\, go “creek walking”\, make and throw wooden spears and forge iron hooks. We’ll have a visit from someone doing very a dangerous thing\, make fire pits\, cook a lunch\, take discarded appliances apart and create new sculpture machines. We’ll drill\, whittle\, hack\, saw\, sand\, hammer\, burn and most likely blow something up. \nInstructed by Matthew Perry\n10am-4pm\nAges 8+ \n

To have your child’s name added to the waitlist\, email Rachel at infovae@comcast.net. \nThis camp is all about exploring the many ways we can make art with paper in 2 and 3 dimensions from teeny tiny to the gigantic! We’ll create patterned collages\, build relief and sculptural forms\, make wearable art and masks using paper and recycling cardboard as our primary materials while using the work of Bread and Puppet and collages of Eric Carle as inspiration. Weather and time permitting\, we’ll build a paper and cardboard house on the VAE’s front lawn that will be right at home in the summer sculpture show. \nInstructed by Rhonda Ratray\n10am-4pm\nAges 6-9 \n
