Fairy forts are appearing on hiking trails everywhere. They are made of twigs, stones and other natural and found items found along the path. We start the week with a hike and build fairy forts. Then, we will learn some basic engineering and architectural skills, building individual small-scale treehouses. Campers will use natural elements like branches, moss, stone as well as wood, nails, and other manmade objects. Who will inhabit the treehouse? What will be its purpose?
The last day of each week, caregivers picking up campers will be invited to a Pizza Party at 5pm where campers will present their projects. The Summer Camps at the Guyer Barn are led by Susan Overstreet, resident arts educator.

Books, movies, and mythology often give animals human qualities. This camp explores the relationship between humans and animals in literature and history. How are we like animals and how do we differ? What are the songs of animals, the dance of animals? How do the sounds and movements of animals influence music and dance? We will discuss how to care for stranded and injured animals like turtles and birds. What is our responsibility?

All things magical will be explored as campers make their wizard or witch’s wardrobes (wands, capes, hats) and discover the ancient art of magic by creating their own book of magic. Write a spell in verse! Draw ancient runes and divination and learn the symbols for spells. Make healing potions from herbs. Dance to music inspired by magic. Group games and scavenger hunts will add to the fun!

Susan Overstreet
Susan Overstreet’s creative process of weaving vibrant colors with a technique of palette knife and brushwork captures a visual tapestry between abstract imagery and representation. Overstreet’s bold expressive style is driven by unique natural elements found on Cape Cod that offer an evolving kaleidoscope of color. “I work quickly. Capturing the subject extemporaneously is vital to breathing life into it visually,” explains Overstreet. “Knowing what the paint can do by experimenting with its properties, I move the paint around the canvas until the image emerges.” She paints en plein air and in the studio, inspired by both landscape and the human figure.
Susan completed studio work at George Washington University and continued studying fine arts at the Corcoran School of Art and the Art League School of Alexandria. Her work was accepted in many juried competitions in Virginia and now on Cape Cod. Susan has exhibited at The Provincetown Art Museum, The Cotuit Center of the Arts, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, and the Cape Cod Museum of Art. She taught art to children in Fairfax Public Schools and served as president of the Springfield Art Guild. Susan has taught at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Milford Arts Council, the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, the Creative Arts Center of Chatham, the PAAM and the Cotuit Center for the Arts. She now teaches exclusively at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod as the Resident Art Educator, where she has her studio. Susan teaches painting, drawing, holds monthly Figure Night and Paint Nights, leads sketching tours, and is available for private lessons. She is represented by Tracy Lindholm Nee in Dennis, MA
