Quill Nook Farm’s day camp is a fun-forward opportunity for your kids to play with art in nature over the course of a week. Outdoor play, games, and nature lessons will be woven in. Every kid’s inherent creativity will be drawn upon in activities such as doodling, free sketching, land art, photo tracing, and block printing. Our teacher is known as much for her fun and engaging approach to kids as she is for her enthusiasm for self-expression.
