Collage Play in Three StylesArtCollage is a relaxing, expressive and playful art form and there are so many ways to approach creating these pieces. In this class, we’ll focus on three styles of collage: patchwork, minimal and spontaneous. Patchwork – we’ll pull ideas from different forms of quilt and textile designs to inspire our own paper patchwork creations. Minimal – sometimes we get so lost in the idea of filling a page that we forget about the beauty and power of white space. We’ll use only a few pieces of paper per collage to not only embrace white space but also tap into the inspiration of limiting our supplies. Spontaneous – the idea of needing to put the perfect piece of paper in the perfect place can inhibit us from creating collages, so in this lesson, we’ll learn ways to work quickly and instinctively to build organic collages in the moment. We’ll play with snippet rolls and also talk about how junk journals provide the perfect medium for spontaneous collages. Supplies to bring: • A sketchbook or art journal with blank pages (you can also bring a junk journal, but you’ll need something with blank pages too). • Any of your favorite collage materials • If you have a favorite pair of scissors or adhesive, please bring those as well. Some shared collage materials, glue sticks and scissors will be available for use in class.Adult Summer 2026 -

Dance ExplorationsCamp Royal Week 8Future Hearts, Minds & Dreamer’s multi-style dance program invites K–5th dancers to explore movement through three exciting approaches: Dance Exploration, Imagination & Improvisation, and Hip Hop Foundations. Students begin by discovering expressive movement in Dance, using imagery—like growing and swaying “trees”—to build strength, balance, and purposeful motion. They explore the four elements of dance—body, space, force, and time—through playful activities that have them stomping, gliding, jumping, wiggling, and creating movement stories. Next, dancers dive into Imagination & Improvisation, where they learn to trust their instincts and create in the moment. Through prompts, games, and collaborative exploration, they practice inventiveness, sequencing, problem-solving, and ensemble awareness while developing a deeper understanding of how movement can communicate ideas. The program also introduces the upbeat world of Hip Hop. Whether dancers naturally groove or are just beginning to find their rhythm, they learn foundational hip hop steps, musicality, and fun choreography set to today’s kid-friendly hits. This section builds coordination, pattern recognition, and confidence in a supportive, high-energy environment. Across all three styles, students strengthen body awareness, musicality, creative thinking, and teamwork. The session culminates in a joyful final sharing where dancers present their original and choreographed work for family and friends.Youth Summer 2026 -
