General Camp Information:

Explore the natural, artistic and scientific wonders in San Angelo. Then create artworks inspired by nature. Classes are from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For ages 7 through 12.
Art of Nature:
The Art of Nature camps were inspired by the need for increased outdoor experiences for our children. “Nature Deficit Disorder” is a phrase coined by author Richard Louv and refers to the fact that children today spend more and more time indoors and therefore have less of a concept of their natural surroundings and the importance of caring for our earth.
Campers spend their days in activities such as canoeing on the Concho River, creating learnscapes, hiking and fishing, hearing about native plants from a local botanist, creating community from nature, visiting the Farmer’s Market and learning how to create healthy snacks. Campers are integrated with technology, science, art and more interdisciplinary studies with specialist from Angelo State University. By not only experiencing our local natural environment, but also reflecting on their own role in caring for our planet through visual art projects, these campers are immersed in this valuable intersection of art and science.

These short films were entered into the 2015 Water Texas Film Contest in Austin that aims to find ways to raise awareness regarding the true value of our water sources.
All videos entered in the contest were both filmed and edited by 7-12 year old campers at Art Camp All Day, with the assistance of camp instructors Brian Beck, Blanca Hernandez, and Jenny Combest.
Special Thanks to Brian Beck, creative Director of Open Source Initiatives and Co-founder of TexOS.
