Movers + Makers Summer Camp
Movers + Makers
is an unforgettable immersion including yoga, dance (older students will learn a k-pop routine // younger students will learn a foundational, hip hop inspired routine), playtime, daily snacktivities, and crafts.
Each day is inspired by one of the elements of Ayurveda (an ancient Indian system of holistic healing) - water, air, fire, earth, and ether.
Campers will be invited to notice how these elements appear in the environment around them and how they exist within themselves.
Movers + Makers is hosted by camp leaders Devi Hadsell and Alex Sharry, facilitators with 20+ years combined experience guiding kids of all ages.
