Older campers in the 6-11 group will get to experiment with 3-D creations that have moving parts - kinetic art. Using wire, string, glue, elastic or rubber bands, tape and other materials, campers will design and craft their own kinetic piece of art. They will get inspired by three dimensional structures created using unusual materials - paper grocery bags, fabric, foam, and Tyvek. The best part about Belle Vie Farm summer camps is the ability to stretch the limits and use materials in atypical ways. We encourage campers to dream big and innovate!
