Hands-on Arts Day - Echoes and Embers Oct 12
Registration is open for the 2026 Echoes & Embers Art Camp in Ottawa, IL!
Explore this hands‑on arts day where youth explore creativity in nature through new ways to experiment, make, and express themselves. From bold art techniques to quiet moments of noticing the world around you, youth move through four stations, try out new ideas, and discover the sparks of creativity you didn’t even know were there.
This camp is open to youth ages 8–14 and will be held Monday, October 12 at 9:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Thanks to generous support from our 4-H Foundation, this experience is offered at no cost to participants. Lunch will be provided.
Register before September 25.
