Creative explorations of nature, science, and art
Ages: 7–11
Dates: Monday, July 28 – Friday, August 1
Time: 8:30am–3pm
Fee: $350
Partnership: Arcari Floral
Teaching artist: Meredith Arcari Luciano

Eco-STEAM invites curious minds to engage with the natural world around them through hands-on creative projects. They’ll discover how the sun powers our planet, experiment with art and science, and investigate nature—using all their senses.

Over five discovery-filled days, young creators will:

Explore texture, build with natural materials, and create tactile art.

Play with sound mapping—and turn the sounds of nature into artwork.

Make plant-based crafts using herbs.

Design kinetic sculptures powered by the wind.

Craft musical instruments from natural materials and compose music.

Experiment and cook delicious, nature-based recipes.

Share their discoveries in an interactive exhibit—where science, nature, and art meet.

Through creative play and collaboration, kids will forge lasting friendships. Along the way, they’ll discover new passions and gain essential life skills. No experience needed—just a love for exploring. Watch their world expand!

This is a small group program. Space is limited.

AMP’s summer programs are made possible in part by Thomaston Savings Bank.
