Description

The Wonder Circle – Youth Maker XD Summer Camp

Some children see the world a little differently — they notice the light through the leaves, the shape of a shadow, the story hiding inside a stone. The Wonder Circle was made for them.

Ages 9 to 12

4 Day Camp | 3 hours a day

Monday – Thursday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM each day

$225

This small-group creative experience is designed for children aged 8–12 who are naturally curious, imaginative, and sensitive to the world around them. Unlike traditional art classes focused on technique or “how to draw,” The Wonder Circle invites children into a calm, story-rich environment where art, nature, and imagination work together to support creativity, emotional awareness, and confidence.

Through painting, gathering natural materials, myth-inspired storytelling, and reflective creative practices, children explore their own ideas in ways that honor individuality rather than comparison. There are no right or wrong outcomes — only discovery.

Each child is welcomed as a Wonderkeeper — a young creator learning to care for their imagination, their ideas, and their sense of belonging.

This camp is perfect for the dreamer, the quiet observer, and the child who has always had something to say but hasn’t yet found the way to say it. Small group sizes ensure every Wonderkeeper gets the attention, space, and encouragement they deserve.

Our camps are led by experienced instructors who are passionate about nurturing young creative minds. We take great care to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and free to be exactly who they are.

Class minimum 4 participants/ 6 maximum.
