Extreme Art – TimberNook Northwest Indiana

Join us this summer at TimberNook’s Extreme Art Adventure, where creativity meets the great outdoors! This exciting camp takes young artists on a week-long journey of imaginative expression and nature-inspired fun. The week begins with Artful Dens, as campers design unique hideaways using natural materials. Next, they’ll step into a regal world with Royal Art, crafting crowns and scepters fit for royalty. On day three, they’ll dive into Pottery Shops, molding clay into beautiful creations. Day four brings Color Discovery, where campers explore the magic of pigments and vibrant art-making. The adventure wraps up with Body Art, allowing kids to express themselves through safe, natural paints and designs. Each day builds on the last, ensuring your child gains confidence, creativity, and a collection of incredible handmade masterpieces by week’s end!

Please read this information carefully prior to registering your child.

This nature program is for children ages 7-12, but the ages may be flexible to accommodate siblings- please send us an email prior to registration if this is an issue for you. This summer camp runs 9am-12:30pm. 

Our program is inclusive; we are a safe place for children and families of all abilities, backgrounds, and belief systems. Children are required to bring their own food; families will be notified of allergies prior to camp.

• REFUND POLICY-  No Refunds. In the event that we have to close due to lockdown, you will be offered a 90% refund or 100% credit.  Credit is ONLY issued in the event that TimberNook Northwest Indiana has to cancel the program. If a child has to miss a class for any reason there will be no refunds. Further refund details can be e-mailed as requested. 

When deciding if summer camp will be a good fit for your child, please take the following into consideration:

We maintain a 6:1 child/adult ratio where the role of the adult is to step back and tune in.  TimberNook staff maintains visual contact with children but may be out of arm’s reach. Counselors allow children the opportunity to build conflict resolution skills and sense of independence, stepping in when safety is a factor.

• Children maintain visual contact of a TimberNook counselor, stay within the designated boundaries of our site, and manage their needs independently (such as eating, drinking fluids, and using the restroom). Please no children in diapers.
• We understand that children are individuals and sometimes have varying abilities and unique needs. If your child requires additional support, please contact us to make a plan prior to registering.
• We are outside 100% of the time with a safe location available in case of severe weather.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch. If you are having difficulty with registration or payment, please try a different browser (chrome is the suggested browser) and clear your cookies/cache. If this program is full, email to be added to the waitlist:
