virtual Art & Nature Camp date tba

July 27, 2020 - July 31, 2020

For 15 years, the Bass Harbor Memorial Library has held a week-long, half day Art and Nature Camp in Tremont for local and visiting children. With COVID19 our new reality, an in-person camp is not possible this summer, but camp directors Kathie Pratt and Dawn Nuding have brainstormed and retooled and are thrilled to announce that Art and Nature Camp is on for July!

Thanks to a generous grant from the Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund, Art & Nature Camp has been adapted to a new format this summer, offering the same high quality arts instruction and fun projects, but remotely. Here's how it will work:

Art Camp is FREE to all campers this year, and will take place July 27-31. Camp is limited to 15 participants, ages 6-11 (or with permission from the instructors) This year's theme will be “Create, Communicate, Connect.” The Pandemic has created a shared experience of confusion, loss and isolation. This has been especially true for children who have braved a new way of learning, suffered the loss of sports games, birthdays, time with friends, trips and more. Yet from rainbows in windows, to signage at town halls and businesses, and posters in birthday parades, people have found ways to express, to communicate, and to stay connected, and art has been a core part of that. Young artists will use the creative process of art making to access their unique voice and express their thoughts and feelings, providing a venue to communicate their message, and facilitate connection with each other and their community through sharing their work.

Kathie and Dawn will create 3 brief instructional videos for campers to follow along to explore our theme. BHML will provide each camper an art goodie bag, full of all of the materials they will need to complete each project, as well as enough supplies to inspire creativity all summer long. We hope by giving away a variety of high-quality materials as well as inspiring take- aways, we can encourage campers’ unique vision and expression by allowing for future artistic exploration.

Campers and families will take photos of their process and artwork to be posted on the library website and Facebook pages so fellow campers and the community can attend a “virtual art show”. The final, collaborative art piece, created individually in each child’s home, and assembled as a large final project, will be displayed at Kelley Farm in Tremont for all to experience and admire! (Date of installation is TBA, but we anticipate early August)

To sign up, please respond to this email or contact Kathie Pratt at kathie.pratt@bassharborlibrary.com. We would like to have a final tally in order to buy art supplies by July 20.

With COVID19 our new reality, an in-person camp is not possible this summer, but camp directors Kathie Pratt and Dawn Nuding have brainstormed and retooled and are thrilled to announce that Art and Nature Camp is on for July! Thanks to a generous grant from the Witham Family Hotels Charitable Fund, Art & Nature Camp has been adapted to a new format this summer, offering the same high quality arts instruction and fun projects, but remotely. Here's how it will work: Art Camp is FREE to all campers this year, and will take place July 27-31. Camp is limited to 15 participants, ages 6-11 (or with permission from the instructors) This year's theme will be “Create, Communicate, Connect.” The Pandemic has created a shared experience of confusion, loss and isolation. This has been especially true for children who have braved a new way of learning, suffered the loss of sports games, birthdays, time with friends, trips and more. Yet from rainbows in windows, to signage at town halls and businesses, and posters in birthday parades, people have found ways to express, to communicate, and to stay connected, and art has been a core part of that. Young artists will use the creative process of art making to access their unique voice and express their thoughts and feelings, providing a venue to communicate their message, and facilitate connection with each other and their community through sharing their work. Kathie and Dawn will create 3 brief instructional videos for campers to follow along to explore our theme. BHML will provide each camper an art goodie bag, full of all of the materials they will need to complete each project, as well as enough supplies to inspire creativity all summer long. We hope by giving away a variety of high-quality materials as well as inspiring take- aways, we can encourage campers’ unique vision and expression by allowing for future artistic exploration. Campers and families will take photos of their process and artwork to be posted on the library website and Facebook pages so fellow campers and the community can attend a “virtual art show”. The final, collaborative art piece, created individually in each child’s home, and assembled as a large final project, will be displayed at Kelley Farm in Tremont for all to experience and admire!
