In this 3-day camp, students will have fun making Africa-themed arts and crafts using simple art supplies. Each day, our craft will take us to a different country in Africa. Students will learn about the origin of what we will be creating and be able to locate it geographically. We’ll also learn some facts about the country and dive into creating our craft for the day. Below is a breakdown of what students will make in each class. Day 1: Ndebele art/hut (South Africa) Day 2: Tribal mask (Mali) Day 3: Maasai Collar Necklace (Kenya) Students will be given opportunities to ask questions and share their artwork with the rest of the class if they choose to do so. Please review the supply list before enrolling your learner. No prior knowledge or experience is needed to participate in this class. See you in class!
Learning Goals
In addition to creating their craft from different parts of Africa, students will also be able to identify the locations of these countries on a map.

Welcome Outshoolers!
My name is Dalen, and I am excited about the opportunity to be part of your child’s learning journey! I hold an MPhil in Sociology and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Social Work.
I love to engage with kids through stories because I believe storytelling is a powerful tool to teach and inspire curiosity.
I enjoy learning and teaching about the different cultures that make up our world. I offer classes in history, social studies, geography, life skills, and arts & crafts. I’ll describe my teaching style as interactive, supportive, and engaging.
On a personal note, I grew up in Ghana, West Africa. If I’m not spending time telling Ananse stories to my kids, I enjoy baking healthy treats and experimenting with food from around the world.
Join me as we discover the beauty of our world through captivating stories, food, art & crafts, and much more. I look forward to helping your child on their learning journey. See you in the classroom!Reviews
