Build Your World 2: July 18-22

Imagine time and space… inside and out!

In this camp led by Juliet Jensen, we will imagine, design, build, and decorate our own model dream parks, play spaces, and fun houses.

Inside, we will create miniature architecture and landscaping along with collage, drawing, and textiles. Outside, we will build and learn about sculpture while being inspired by famous environmental artists. We will also explore the Community Garden where we will create art installations using found objects. Throughout the week, we will have time to work on independent projects chosen by the campers.

Juliet Jensen has a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and Comparative Literature from Duke University. She has worked as an art teacher at the Central Park School for Children and the Duke School. She has also taught many classes and outreach activities at The Scrap Exchange and the Durham Arts Council. She believes that the process of making art should be fun and accessible to each student, and that each project should provide many avenues for creative expression and skills development for all abilities, talents, and artistic interests.

Camper Expectations

We expect all campers to arrive well-rested, nourished, and ready to participate and have fun! All campers will demonstrate respect towards staff members, fellow campers, and themselves while at the Scrap Exchange. Campers are expected to be kind to others and follow simple instructions. Although we pride ourselves on offering creative programs for most children, we recognize that the Scrap Exchange’s Summer Camp program may not offer appropriate support for all children, especially those with special medical, physical, behavioral, or social needs.

Attendance at Summer Camp is contingent upon meeting these expectations. There will be no refunds issued for campers that are asked to leave the Scrap Exchange due to behavioral problems or disobeying these policies.

Refund Policy

All withdrawal requests must be made in writing. Payments lost due to withdrawal cannot be forwarded to the next year’s camps or other programming.
