About the course
We are slowly coming to the end of camp in a festive mood, because we’re celebrating! We celebrate what makes us unique, as well as what unites us and brings us joy.
Afternoons will be dedicated to making festive sculptures that can become accessories we wear for our weekend celebration: The Camper Parade! Inspired by Hazel Meyer’s dINGdONG gLOVES, bright colors and exuberance are encouraged.
