Glow Dragon Terrarium Mini Camp
Themes: Up-cycling/recycling and Desert Ecology
Using recycled plastics, campers will create a desert terrarium home for a dragon friend they sculpt themselves. Campers will produce a landscape featuring a small cactus and a dragon treasure horde made from paper, rocks, and faux gems. Each camper will receive a black light flashlight and decorate their dragon’s lair with luminescent paint to make it glow. Additional activities include blown egg designs and creating a miniature dragon painting. Campers will also learn about real desert critters by studying a scorpion in a safely housed and secure terrarium.
Important Information
All materials and supplies to complete each project will be provided.
To ensure a quality experience, the camp is limited to 18 participants. Pre-registration is required.
