      2635 North M-52, Owosso

      In partnership with the Shiawassee Arts Center

      Tuesday-Thursday, 1-5pm

      Week 1: June 10, 11 & 12 (1-3rd grade) 

      Week 2: June 17, 18 & 19 (4th-8th grade) 

      Tie Dye – A Nature Art Camp tradition! Bring something 100% COTTON to tie dye. Favorites over the years include bags, pillowcases, and shirts. Our process involves folding, twisting, pleating, and binding with rubber bands for resist techniques, followed by dye application. This will be the first project on Tuesday.

      Barn Quilt – DeVries is in need of a new barn quilt and a barn quilt refresh, so campers will be helping paint some! These painted quilts will remain at DeVries for all visitors to enjoy.

      Fused Glass Barn Quilt Tiles – Inspired by the painted barn quilts, campers will be creating their own fused glass quilt squares. We will be arranging pre-cut squares and triangles on 4x4inch tiles to make birds, flowers, and other nature themed designs that will then be taken back to the Shiawassee Arts Center, fired in the kiln and returned to the campers to take home.

      Shadow Drawing Watercolor – We will be playing with light and water as we trace the shadows of animal figurines and then bring them to life by using watercolor paint and a wax resist to put them in their habitat–whether real or imaginary is up to the camper!

      Nature Studies & Hikes – Experience and explore the plants and animals that make their home at the DeVries Nature Conservancy. Use all of your senses to perceive details, while learning of ecology, biology and conservation. Please wear comfortable tennis shoes for hiking. No flip-flops!

      And More Activities Added Soon!

      Daily snacks provided! Bring your own refillable water container.

      In partnership with the Shiawassee Arts Center

      Tuesday-Thursday, 1-5pm

      Week 1: June 10, 11 & 12 (1-3rd grade) 

      Week 2: June 17, 18 & 19 (4th-8th grade) 

      Tie Dye – A Nature Art Camp tradition! Bring something 100% COTTON to tie dye. Favorites over the years include bags, pillowcases, and shirts. Our process involves folding, twisting, pleating, and binding with rubber bands for resist techniques, followed by dye application. This will be the first project on Tuesday.

      Barn Quilt – DeVries is in need of a new barn quilt and a barn quilt refresh, so campers will be helping paint some! These painted quilts will remain at DeVries for all visitors to enjoy.

      Fused Glass Barn Quilt Tiles – Inspired by the painted barn quilts, campers will be creating their own fused glass quilt squares. We will be arranging pre-cut squares and triangles on 4x4inch tiles to make birds, flowers, and other nature themed designs that will then be taken back to the Shiawassee Arts Center, fired in the kiln and returned to the campers to take home.

      Shadow Drawing Watercolor – We will be playing with light and water as we trace the shadows of animal figurines and then bring them to life by using watercolor paint and a wax resist to put them in their habitat–whether real or imaginary is up to the camper!

      Nature Studies & Hikes – Experience and explore the plants and animals that make their home at the DeVries Nature Conservancy. Use all of your senses to perceive details, while learning of ecology, biology and conservation. Please wear comfortable tennis shoes for hiking. No flip-flops!

      And More Activities Added Soon!

      Daily snacks provided! Bring your own refillable water container.

      Location: Dabble Community Enrichment Center, 210 N Saginaw St, Durand, MI 48429, USA
      Calendar: Shiawassee County Community Calendar

      Level-up reading labs are a different twist on all ages of reading. This lab groups students of all ages together to work on a story. We will not simply read a book for practice but work on the book. We read and discuss the topic so that students can start to understand reading retention is as important as reading itself. 

      Having older students work with younger students give them a chance to be a leader in a subject they need to build confidence in. Over time, they have the opportunity to gain confidence in their skills, become a mentor, and learn to lead. 

      Younger students get someone to look up to while getting the practice they need to succeed. In the last 20 minutes of the class, the instructor will read to the students helping them with the last component, loving a good story.

A hero doesn’t necessarily have to wear a cape and tights, maybe a hero speaks up for what’s right. Maybe that hero could be you. If you see or hear something that doesn’t seem right, you can submit a confidential tip to OK2SAY. OK2SAY allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential harm directed at Michigan students, school employees, or schools. Protect yourself and others by using OK2SAY. Because if you won’t, who will?
