What We’ll Create Each Day

🇮🇳 Monday: India – Golden Taj Mahal
Kids travel to India and build their own paper Taj Mahal stadium. Using cutting, folding, and layering, they’ll create a sparkling white palace and imagine a soccer match happening right on its grounds. This project teaches fine-motor skills, symmetry, and introduces them to one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.

🇲🇬 Tuesday: Madagascar – Baobab Trees
Campers head to Madagascar to draw and paint the island’s giant baobab trees as magical goalkeepers watching over a soccer field. With bold lines and bright colors, kids learn about scale, nature, and movement while picturing a game under Africa’s most famous trees.

🇰🇷 Wednesday: South Korea – Tiger Spirit
Inspired by Korea’s legendary tiger spirit, kids create powerful tiger art that celebrates soccer energy and strength. Using expressive shapes and patterns, they’ll design fierce but friendly tigers cheering for their team. This project builds creativity, confidence, and introduces cultural symbolism.

🇦🇺 Thursday: Australia – Opera House Sunset
Kids paint the Sydney Opera House glowing at sunset with a soccer match happening nearby. Blending warm sunset tones with cool ocean blues, campers explore light, reflection, and city landscapes while learning color mixing techniques.

🇮🇸 Friday: Iceland – Arctic Whales
The week wraps up in icy Iceland, where kids draw majestic Arctic whales leaping near a chilly soccer field by the sea. Using flowing lines and cool blues, they’ll learn about movement and marine life while imagining whales cheering on the game.
