Discover the Workshop
The first two days of camp are at Hallam Lake and the final three days of the week are at Anderson Ranch.
In partnership with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies, we explore the exciting intersection of nature, art, and kite building! We begin the week by learning about the science of flight, bird habitats, migration, and feather patterns, with a special focus on regional birds of prey and other local species. Students make detailed artistic studies using watercolor, colored pencils, and Sharpies to capture the colors, shapes, and textures of the birds they observe. As the week progresses, we transform these studies into one-of-a-kind handmade kites. Using inspiration from feather patterns and modern kite-building materials and techniques, students design kites that are as functional as they are beautiful. The workshop culminates in a kite-flying showcase, where everyone tests their creations and watches their art soar through the sky!
