Creative Crossroads Camp with UMOCA! 9 am - 4 pm (5th-6th grade)

Artists often take inspiration from the natural world, drawing from the beauty around them to create beautiful things themselves. We’ll be using the garden as a canvas, a source of inspiration and materials, and a gallery setting throughout this week of camp. Your young artists will experience the magic of the garden in the mornings here at WCG and let their creativity lead the way in the afternoons at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. Friday afternoon, campers' art will be on display in the garden during pickup, so make sure you block out time to take a stroll through their gallery!
