Science & Beginner Claymation

Rising 3rd-5th Graders 

June 22-26, 2026

9:00am-3:30pm

12 Students

Dee Dee Carleton & Jarae Porter

Class Description:

This camp is a hands-on exploration of nature and science journaling combined with beginning claymation. Dee Dee will start the day guiding the students through scientific experimentation and observation. They will compile their work using drawing techniques in an artistically created journal. Jarae will take over the afternoons introducing students to stop motion animation using iPads and modeling clay, working in small groups to create short films. Throughout the day, students will break for outdoor and social time. Students will be amazed at what they can create by hand and with the help of technology. 

All projects are specifically designed to accommodate students of all skill levels and can be adjusted accordingly to meet each student's specific needs. No prior art or stop motion experience is needed.
