LEAD FACILITATOR REVIEW
Ahmad was amazing! I loved that he treated each kid as an individual and worked with them to support and challenge their skills.
2021 SUMMER CAMP REVIEW
They are more in touch with nature and like teaching what they learned at home. They are more adventurous, and were inspired to do different things they were not used to.
Introduction
Our Summer Arts and Wellness Camp is designed to introduce children ages 5-12 to different art forms inside the studios and outside in nature! Exploring our local landscape, creek, and trails for inspiration and opportunities to discover new materials from nature in the summer! Our campers will engage with nature, art programming and learn wellness practices through our daily gratitude circle, art and mindfulness activities, reflection time, and team-building games.
Participants will learn how to use various mediums inside and outside, and decide on several projects to complete throughout the session both individually and as a group inside and outside the studios.
The Summer Arts & Wellness Camp is fun and educational as we explore another season at Soulspace and the Sage Street Mill! Students will leave with a renewed sense of community, connect with friends, and leave with a strong foundation in fun arts and wellness practices!
Campers will have daily activities and projects. The camp introduces students to the fun of experimentation in arts through drawing and painting, storybook making, making site-specific work in nature, and multi-media art through hands-on project-based learning, and nature exploration along our trails and outdoor space. During the summer camp, we go swimming and on hikes regularly. Our team of dedicated facilitators works with each camper individually and as a group to develop their wellness toolbox through various activities and techniques!
Campers can only choose to participate in full-time enrollment.

& Arts & Wellness Programs.
The Arts & Wellness Camps at the Sage Street Mill have been so much fun for me to design and develop over the years!
I am so proud of the dedicated and talented team working here, and all the amazing kids and families coming here year after year!

Ulyana Shkel
I am a senior student at Bennington college, studying dance, public action, visual arts and music. I am very excited to share simple embodiment tools such as improvisational dancing and breathing techniques. I am hoping to share a lot of time doing a variety of activities with you all!
I love getting to know the kids, I have a lot to share and so much more to learn from them!
Chris Golovina
I am committed to dedicating my entire life to visual arts and education. These two things are what inspire me the most. I study Visual Arts and various languages at Bennington College. Prior to coming to the United States I have studied at the United World College in Italy. I also am from Russia, born and raised there. Most of my art projects are inspired by my upbringing in Russia and are exploring social issues in my home country. I used to work as a curator assistant in an independent gallery back home, and I am excited to bring my experience to The Mill! :)
Ahmad Yassir
I am passionate about many things including visual arts and education, and I love to share my passion for learning, creativity, and team building! I'm an experienced international teacher (Lebanon, Turkey, Somaliland, USA) and artist. My most recent work was featured in the Transient Beauty Show at The Bennington Museum.
I am so honored and excited to lead this year's camps, meet more families from the area, make new connections, and further develop the program as we learn more about each camper! Full portfolio.
Maxwell Perry-Pedreira
I've spent my whole life here at The Mill. I love nature, arts, and insects, and I love sharing my knowledge with people around me. I worked as an assistant art teacher at the local VSNB elementary school, and I have also been a counselor for last year's awesome Wellness Camp, I just finished my first year of college at Mass College of Arts and Design, and I'm really excited to be working here! I am really looking forward to exploring and showing the different trails and areas on the property and having a blast finding crayfish and dragonflies and making natural sculptures in the trails with the kids!
Emily-Grace Maynard
I'm a student in the 7th-grade class at the North Bennington school. I’m one of those people who always enjoy looking at art and I try to see art in everything, even if it’s not meant to be an art piece.
I love seeing the kids just find the things they enjoy and watching them doing what makes them happy, makes me excited to see what it will become! Especially in nature, it is super fun to see what they come up with and how they decide to make it their own.
Join the fun!
