About This Activity
Steel & Stone is a hands-on outdoor design experience where children become sculptors, engineers, and makers for the day. Campers craft metal wildlife nesting bundles filled with Ruby Ranch alpaca fiber to support local birds during nesting season. Throughout the day, children create stone and clay sculptures, explore different rock types and natural formations, experiment with balance and structural stability, and add artistic detail through stone painting and surface design. Campers will also break open real geodes to discover the hidden crystals inside! Using kid-safe tools and authentic materials, campers leave with meaningful, one-of-a-kind creations they proudly built with their own hands. It’s earthy, imaginative, and deeply satisfying.
