Nature Journaling & Watercolor Camp
For Curious Creatives Ages 10–14

Grab your sketchbook and step outside—this summer, the natural world becomes your studio! Young artists will explore forests, flowers, feathers, and fields as they learn to observe and capture the beauty of nature through watercolor painting and journaling.

Each day is a new adventure filled with drawing games, color experiments, mindfulness hikes, and hands-on lessons in watercolor techniques. Campers will build their own illustrated nature journals while learning to see the world with an artist’s eye and a naturalist’s heart.

Whether you’re a budding artist, a nature lover, or just love being outside, this camp is your place to slow down, get inspired, and create something wild and wonderful.

Camp Highlights:

• Daily sketchbook sessions in the garden or field
• Watercolor lessons: washes, textures, layering, and more
• Learn botanical and wildlife drawing skills
• Create a personal nature journal to take home
• Gentle mindfulness and observation activities
• Small group, relaxed pace, lots of encouragement

No experience needed—just curiosity and creativity!

MEET THE INSTRUCTOR!

My name is Sarah Castrigano, and I’m a licensed art teacher and practicing artist based in Ohio. After teaching PreK–8 art, I now focus fully on The Treehouse, where I develop Fine Art and STEAM programming for our growing community.

In small group settings, I guide students through engaging, age-appropriate projects using a wide variety of tools and materials. While each lesson includes a structured project, I encourage creativity, curiosity, and personal expression.

My own art practice centers around fiber arts, especially weaving and tapestry using recycled materials and natural inspiration. I studied ceramics and studio art at Baldwin Wallace, and my work has been exhibited locally at BW’s Ritter Library, Fawick Gallery, and the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center.
