Camp Week 7

ERAS Music & Art Camp It's Taylor Swift week at Slowfire! For 90 minutes a day, students choose, learned and played many songs in Taylor Swift's extensive discography with Rock Hand Music. Then they made collages of Taylor Swift albums and drew drawing based on a Taylor Swift album with Metzli. With Alice, students designed and created custom bobble heads using model magic and wire to create springs. During our clay class we made custom bowls, some including campers favorite Taylor Swift lyrics. Here at Slowfire, we make sure that we extend our lunch time so students can eat lunch and be able to play outside at Slowfire Grove. Our staff guided our students while using the inspiration of Taylor Swift. Once done with projects, students were able to get face paint, make buttons, draw and so much more. Big thanks to our team: Alice, Metzli and Shane for helping our students remember camp all too well. Videos can be found here: facebook.com/slowfireceramics
