About the camp
Join us for Brush & Storybook Camp, a creative spring camp where children will write and illustrate their very own book! Through fun activities like sketching, character creation, watercolor painting, collage, and acrylic backgrounds, kids will explore storytelling from brainstorming ideas to finalizing and presenting their illustrated book. Each day begins with inspiring books and discussions to spark imagination and guide them through the entire creative process.
Our summer camps provide hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Engaging in artistic activities allows children to express themselves in unique ways, boosting their confidence and emotional intelligence. Our experienced instructors offer a supportive and engaging space where all children can discover their passions, build lifelong friendships, and develop a sense of belonging. Not to mention, our summer camps are fun!
Snacks will be provided every day, but children are expected to come with their own lunches and beverage (or water bottle) each day.
Break times will happen outside. Please be sure your child comes prepared for outdoor activities with sun protection each day.
¡Únete a nosotros en Campamento Pincel y Cuento! Un creativo campamento de primavera donde los niños escribirán e ilustrarán su propio libro. A través de divertidas actividades como bocetos, creación de personajes, pintura con acuarela, collage y fondos acrílicos, explorarán la narración desde la lluvia de ideas hasta la finalización y presentación de su libro ilustrado. Cada día comenzará con libros inspiradores y charlas diseñadas para estimular la imaginación y guiarlos a lo largo de todo el proceso creativo.
Nuestros campamentos de verano ofrecen experiencias de aprendizaje prácticas que fomentan la creatividad, el pensamiento crítico y la colaboración. Participar en actividades artísticas permite a los niños expresarse de formas únicas, lo que aumenta su confianza y su inteligencia emocional. Nuestros instructores experimentados ofrecen un espacio de apoyo y participación donde todos los niños pueden descubrir sus pasiones, forjar amistades para toda la vida y desarrollar un sentido de pertenencia. ¡Y además, nuestros campamentos de verano son divertidos!
Se proporcionarán refrigerios todos los días, pero se espera que los niños vengan con su propio almuerzo y bebida (o botella de agua) todos los días.
Los recreos se realizarán al aire libre. Asegúrese de que su hijo venga preparado para las actividades al aire libre con protección solar todos los días.
About the instructor
Monica Ramirez
Instructor / Artist
I love seeing how children discover their own artistic voice and experience the joy of creating. Through my workshops, I aim to provide them with a space where they can express themselves freely, learn new techniques, and connect with the beauty of Latin culture. Painting and storytelling are paths of connection, and in every session, my goal is for each child to feel inspired and proud of their own creativity.
El arte siempre ha sido mi mayor pasión; ¡he estado dibujando y pintando desde que era niña! Como escritora e ilustradora de libros infantiles, creo en el poder del arte para contar historias, inspirar la creatividad y fortalecer la imaginación. He tenido el privilegio de trabajar con niños en diferentes espacios, guiándolos a explorar el mundo del color, la forma y la expresión a través de la pintura y el dibujo.
Me encanta ver cómo los niños descubren su propia voz artística y experimentan la alegría de crear. A través de mis talleres, busco brindarles un espacio donde puedan expresarse libremente, aprender nuevas técnicas y conectar con la belleza de la cultura latina. La pintura y la narración de historias son caminos de conexión, y en cada sesión, mi objetivo es que cada niño se sienta inspirado y orgulloso de su propia creatividad.
