Time to Create
Campers of all ages enjoy Camp Carew during the year. Some craft projects are better suited to younger campers and some are designed for older campers. The projects on this page begin very easy and become more challenging as you scroll down the page. I hope that each activity will help you remember a little bit about today's nature study.
I've tried to select crafts that don't require specialized tools or supplies.
After you've finished a craft project, I invite you to email us a .jpg or .png photo of your handiwork at campcarew@gmail.com. I'll upload your photo to the forum so that other "virtual campers" may see what you've made. Make sure to include your name, your city, and your state with your contribution.
