Forest Friends is a magical summer art camp of Nature and Nonsense! Where our youngest creators, ages 4–6 discover the joy of story-time, art & friend-making in the great outdoors.
Each day is a gentle adventure filled with kindness, colour, curiosity, and woodland wonder!
Our Summer Camps are designed to inspire 36 young artists each week!
Led by ECFTA Arts Educators and 7 summer student staff, camp will take place in our cheery Art Classroom and sunny Sparrow’s Nest Maker Space.
Camps are a balance of guided-art instruction, open-flow exploration, and outdoor fresh air play!
Come prepared for a great week!

- A nut-free afternoon snack will be offered to keep the energy going
- Refillable water bottle
- A spare set of clothes is encouraged for water play on hot days
- Dress for the weather and for art-making!
