Squish-friend Treehouse summer art camp

What the week is like

Every stuffed animal deserves a home of its own! Campers ages 6–12 bring a favorite plush friend and spend four mornings designing and building it a one-of-a-kind treehouse — complete with painted walls, leafy treetops, ladders, swings, and all the cozy details. It's part architecture, part painting, and all imagination.

Camp is led by art teacher Jane Pichette at Next Chapter Art Studio, 250 Central St., Manville, RI. Groups are kept small so every camper gets hands-on help, and projects build across the four mornings — campers go home Thursday with finished work they made themselves.

What we'll make ✂️

• ★ A custom-built treehouse sized for their stuffed friend
• ★ A painted treehouse-village artwork on paper
