  • 🌈 Dash of Color Camp is where imagination blooms, confidence grows, and every child’s true colors are celebrated.

    This camp invites little artists and movers to explore the rainbow through joyful art, movement, sensory play, and simple science - all in a calm, nurturing environment designed just for young hearts and hands.

    Each day, campers will dive into a new color theme through hands-on crafts, playful movement, music, storytelling, and curiosity-sparked experiments. From splashing in blues and purples to glowing in pinks, golds, and every shade in between, children are encouraged to create freely, move mindfully, and express themselves just as they are.

    This week-long camp is thoughtfully designed for ages 3–7, balancing structure with imagination and offering gentle transitions, age-appropriate activities, and plenty of moments to pause, play, and shine. Campers will leave with a portfolio of colorful creations, sweet memories, and a joyful connection to creativity.  We will host a celebratory “Fave Color Fashion Show” on our rainbow runway to wrap up the week. $250

  • 💖 Self Care + Confidence Camp is a feel-good week of creativity, connection, and growing confidence - inside and out. This empowering week-long camp at Dash of Dust is designed to help tweens slow down, tune in, and shine from the inside out. Through beauty-inspired projects, gentle movement, and meaningful conversations, campers explore what self-care, confidence, and self-expression really mean - at their age, in their world.

    Each day blends hands-on art, simple wellness rituals, and confidence-building activities that encourage individuality, kindness (to self and others), and emotional awareness. Campers are invited to express themselves creatively, try new things in a supportive environment, and leave feeling proud, capable, and more connected to who they are.

    This camp is age-appropriate, and thoughtfully designed - never preachy, never pressured - just a warm space to grow, create, and build confidence that lasts beyond summer. $250

  • 🧵 A week for big ideas, thoughtful making, and kids who love to dream - and design - boldly. Dream Designers Camp is a creative immersion for kids who love to imagine, plan, and bring ideas to life. At Dash of Dust, campers step into the role of designer—dreaming up concepts, experimenting with materials, and turning their visions into thoughtfully made creations.

    Throughout the week, campers explore the full design process, from brainstorming and mood-boarding to making and refining their ideas. They’ll imagine their own creative “company,” give it a name, and design a brand logo that reflects their style and story - learning how ideas become identities in a fun, age-appropriate way.

    Through hands-on projects that blend art, style, problem-solving, and self-expression, campers build confidence in decision-making and pride in the creative process - not just the final product. Designed especially for tweens, this camp balances structure with freedom in a supportive, inspiring environment where individuality is celebrated and creativity is taken seriously (but always kept fun). $250

  • 🪄 Imagination and enchantment awaits at Dash of Dust’s Wands + Wonders camp. This wizard-inspired experience invites kids to explore a whimsical world where creativity leads the way and wonder is woven into every day. Throughout the week, campers will design and decorate their own wands, mix up playful “spells,” create magical art projects, and dive into storytelling and age-appropriate activities. Each captivating day is filled with hands-on fun that encourages creativity, confidence, and curiosity - no prior magic experience required.

    Wands + Wonders is thoughtfully designed to feel cozy and playful focusing on imagination, making, and joyful self-expression rather than anything spooky or intense. It’s a perfect fit for kids who love fantasy, pretend play, and creating something truly magical with their hands. Every camper will leave feeling a little more confident and a lot more in tune with the magic inside themselves.  

    *This camp is differentiated by age group to allow for appropriate levels of adult support. $250
