Camp Kaleido is a full-day art immersion experience where youth, ages 8-12, explore the spectrum of creative expression through hands-on workshops, collaborative projects, and experimentation. Led by the 4-H Creative Collective Art Ambassador Team, campers rotate through stations that highlight visual, performing, and interdisciplinary arts, each designed to spark imagination, build skills, and celebrate individuality.

Why “Kaleido”? Inspired by the ever-shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, the camp reflects the diversity of artistic forms and the unique perspectives each participant brings.
