Mud week has become a beloved tradition here at EWMW. This week we will honor MUD leading up to International Mud Day, on Saturday, June 29, 2024. This camp celebrates a material that is often overlooked. Heighten the senses, and stimulate creativity with its bountiful possibilities. Invent, play, pretend, and experiment outdoors with mud.

Craft a Dorodango, a Japanese clay ball

Mold a ceramic pot, paint it, and plant a seed in it to demonstrate how mud sustains plants and insects.

Construct a mud house inhabited by magical forest creatures you will make.

Use mud to stain and paint pictures using rocks, grass, and leaves as your paintbrush

Concoct baked goods and dump trucks

And much more that the week will bring….

Please Note: Dress for a Muddy Mess!
