Once upon a time, there was a dazzling, fun-filled state named North Carolina. This state was like a gigantic playground, brimming with towering mountains where grinning dragons slumbered, vast sparkling beaches where mischievous mermaids danced, and buzzing cities where friendly robots shared their cookies. But the truly magic happened when the sun sank, and the moon beamed down with a twinkle in its eye. That’s when the kids of North Carolina transformed into the amazing Art Avengers! The Art Avengers were a jolly bunch of boys and girls, who lived for one thing - Painting! They painted everything from hot-dog trees to rainbow rivers, silly aliens to sassy unicorns, and flying pancakes to skating potatoes. Each evening, they would gather in their secret studio, which was a colossal castle made entirely of crayons (How cool is that, right?), where they would dip their brushes in laughter and spread joy on their canvases. Their leader was a spunky little girl named Doodlebug Delilah. Delilah was as bright as a summer’s day and brimming with creativity. She had a magic paintbrush that could bring any painting to life. Under her guidance, the Art Avengers painted galaxies of giggles and landscapes of love, their artwork radiating happiness that brightened even the gloomiest corners of North Carolina! So, if you ever come across a hopping hot-dog or a glowing unicorn while visiting North Carolina, know that it's the workmanship of our unstoppable Art Avengers. They make North Carolina more than just a state, transforming it into a world where imagination reigns, and love and laughter are the law of the land!

At Winking Moon Art Camp, children have the opportunity to explore their creative side and bring their ideas to life with the help of a second mind and a pair of hands. It is here that they can create, play and even bake a teatime treat for the whole group to enjoy. Weather permitting, we’ll work outdoors, as kids and the outdoors naturally go hand in hand. Every camp day follows a set rhythm. After arriving, the kids have some time to settle in during free play, before the structured activity begins. During the morning art, sewing or creating workshop, I plan an activity while still listening to the children’s own ideas. This is a fantastic way to encourage their imagination and spark their creativity. At Winking Moon Art Camp, it’s all about having fun. There’s no better way to keep kids engaged and entertained than with a mixture of free play, creative activities, and a delicious teatime treat. It is here that children have the opportunity to explore their creative side and bring their ideas to life with the help of a second mind and a pair of hands.
