ART CAMPS
Art Camps as a Living Lab
A curriculum rooted in play, nature, and creativity
The Living Lab Curriculum
Creative Nature NYC offers nature-based art camps where children learn through curiosity, collaboration, and making.
Our Living Lab approach invites children to explore outdoors, ask questions, build friendships, and develop their own creative voice—guided by artists and educators who listen deeply.
Inspired by Reggio EmiliaOur educators document children’s thinking, making learning visible and shared.
Our Core Values
Curiosity Comes First
We follow children’s questions and interests. Learning grows from their natural sense of wonder — not from a rigid script.
Nature as Collaborator
The outdoors is part of the classroom. Parks, weather, and natural materials shape each day’s creative exploration.
Play Builds Confidence & Connection
Through unstructured and shared play, children learn to collaborate, solve problems, and build real friendships.
Creative Voice & Independence
We encourage choice, imagination, and self-expression so every child can develop their own ideas with confidence.
