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.

Instructor: Tiger Brooke

Refunds will be issued if cancelled 15 more days prior to the start of camp. Refunds will not be issued for sessions missed as a result of illness, emergencies, or events beyond our control.
