Children’s Nature & Art Academy
Seasonal nature-based art experiences for children
A contemporary program of four independent seasonal gatherings for children aged 5–12, where art, movement and learning come together through direct experience with nature.
What is the Children’s Nature & Art Academy?
The Children’s Nature & Art Academy is a framework of seasonal experiences, realized as four independent, one-day gatherings throughout the year.
Children may participate in a single edition or return across seasons, following the natural rhythm of the year.
This is not a course, a camp, or a long-term program.
It is a carefully designed format that combines art-making, movement and nature-based learning in a contemporary, balanced way.
Who is it for?
The Children’s Nature & Art Academy is designed for children aged 5–12 who:
-
enjoy creating with their hands
-
are curious about nature and the world around them
-
need space for movement, exploration and free play
-
feel comfortable learning through experience rather than instruction
The Academy is also for parents who are looking for a thoughtful, contemporary alternative to conventional extracurricular programs — one that values balance, depth and creativity.
