– from enormous to miniature.<br />
Campers will create awe-inspiring art<br />
inspired by the world-touring Cool<br />
Globe Project, sculpting both gigantic<br />
and small sculptures using recycled<br />
products. They'll also make murals and<br />
geometric sculptures, play creativity<br />
games with music and much more!<br />
