Thanks for the ideas! This will get me started. The projects sound fun and relaxing, just what kids need during the summer. I taught at a camp last summer and those kinds of projects worked out best. This summer the girls are groups in grades 1-4, 5-7, and 8-11. So, I've got quite the range. Last year I did some papermaking and marbling (we made journals that we sewed together) with the younger and middle groups and sewing (drawstring backpacks, tie-dyed pillows) with middle and older groups. Tie-dye worked well for all age groups. (I don't know that this camp will be able to afford the procion dye though.)
As far as internet access, I bet the camp might have something, but if it does, it will be slow. There's got to be an internet cafe in East Hampton somewhere, though.
and you could do mexican bark paintings on brown craft
paper
I think Judy has the links for these on her site, if
not, and you want more info - just ask.
you could do bugs from recycled cans - I think that
idea came from the list and they were fantastic!
also - sidewalk art and mandalas would also be fun.
What is the age range of the girls? Will you have
access to the list during the summer-assuming its
still online?
