Dream your legendary creature. Design it. Craft it. Become it.
About the Class
Session 1: June 29-July 2. 2026 (4 days): Step into a world where imagination takes shape — and walks, roars, or flies! In this magical, hands-on camp, kids don’t just make creatures — they become them. Through art, costume design, and storytelling, each camper brings their own legendary being to life from sketchbook to stage. Using thrifted fabrics, recycled materials, and a touch of creative magic, young artists will design and build masks, construct wearable costumes, and write the legends of their fantastical worlds. The week culminates in our Festival of Creatures, a joyful performance where campers step into their creature roles and share their stories with family and friends. Every child leaves with new creative skills, newfound confidence, and the unforgettable experience of transforming imagination into reality. Details & Logistics: We have a very low camper to staff ratio. Our camps feature plenty of outdoor time, lunch, play and field games at Littlejohn Park.
