Eco-Camp 2022 will be run in collaboration with The Lamoille County Conservation District. Merging primitive skills with artistic expression this camp will draw in elements of foraging, plant identification, and nature-based art activities. With a "two days on, two days off" model this camp will take place for two days at the Lamoille County Nature Center with Emily Porter-Goff and two days on-site at River Arts with Sarah Hewitt. The fifth day will take place at the Oxbow, where the two groups will work collaboratively to create a celebratory, eco-art installation.
*Parents will drop off students at the Nature Center for two days of camp and these days will be communicated before camp is scheduled to begin.
