It’s all about perspective. To the caterpillar the leaf they are born to is as big as a house, and the tree is like a skyscraper. To the child the aspen is merely a tree. To the adult who has been living in their own house for many years, a week at camp is just another camping experience, making new friends, and teaching the children new things. To the young camper – well, they are the caterpillars.

Paint. Science. Pencils. Nature. Color. Art. This summer ten campers and myself explored these things and more during our one week adventure at EcoCamps:  Wild Art. During the day we explored outside and in the evening they learned technique and created art pieces with Danica Mattias, an amazing artist with the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, our partner in this camp. Having experience in both science and art, I eagerly anticipated diving into the woven web of Science, Nature, and Art.
