Scenic Brundage Mountain is the backdrop for a unique and affordable program that combines art education and outdoor exploration at its finest. Children ages 8 - 12 will learn art techniques like Gyotaku and tye-dye through guided discovery.

An experienced children's art instructor will introduce the children to a variety of art mediums, and the classes will also take campers outdoors to learn about the mountain environment and get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of chairlifts and snowcats.

"Our goal is to offer an affordable way for children to get in touch with the natural environment and explore their own creativity,-said program director, Shayne Large.

The program costs just $20 per child and lasts for four hours on two consecutive Saturdays. There are two sessions to choose from, and all art supplies are included in that fee.

"It's easy to draw inspiration from the beautiful mountain setting,- said instructor Jennifer Church. "And we'll be sending the campers home with personalized works of art, which will include gyotaku tote bags, tie dye t-shirts and nature portraits and prints.-

Jennifer Church is a mural artist with a B.F.A. in Graphic Design. Jennifer has offered many art lessons in the area, both at the Kaleidoscope Children's Art Festival and Creative Campus.
