Jungle Explorers

Time: 9 am – 12 pm
Age Group: Littles (5-9 years)
Spaces Available: 11
Step into the lush, colorful world of the jungle! Inspired by the vibrant, dreamlike jungle scenes of Henri Rousseau, campers will create bold animal artwork featuring monkeys, big cats, tropical birds, and other exotic creatures.
Using a variety of materials — including painting, oil pastels, chalk pastels, clay, paper collage, and paper mâché — young artists will explore pattern, texture, and vibrant color while building imaginative jungle environments. This playful and immersive camp encourages creative storytelling, artistic exploration, and expressive confidence through hands-on art-making.
This camp is primarily indoors, but students will go outdoors, weather permitting. Students should arrive prepared for outdoor time with appropriate layers, sunscreen applied, sun hat, sunglasses, water bottle, and snacks.

Jessica MahanJessica Mahan is a professional acrylic and oil painter and an art teacher with a degree in Art Education and Secondary Education. She previously taught art in the public school system for 7 years, has been a professional artist for 8 years and loves sharing her love of art with others through classes, workshops, retreats and paint at home kits. She is in awe of the natural world. Nature has the ability to wake up her mind to the present moment, sparking ideas and insight. The resulting paintings are vivid, emotional, playful and dreamlike. Her art practice helps her slow down and notice the world around her by examining shapes, colors, movement rhythms and light. She often uses symbolism and thinks of her work as visual poetry. Outside of art, she loves travel, yoga, nature, music and hanging out with her dog.
