Introducing Megan Forward
Megan Forward will be running our art workshops and sending us out on our nature-based activities.
Megan is a successful artist, author and illustrator of children’s books. She has a particular interest in connecting children and families to the natural world, whether that be through art, reading, gardening or simply getting out there amongst it. Megan also runs workshops in schools, libraries, kindergartens and other community settings with this goal in mind.
As a young girl she dreamed of one day creating picture books and is thrilled to be combining this dream with a love of building community around the natural world and the desire to share this love with children and families.

What will be Happening
In the morning, we'll gather together online to spend some time doing fun activities and getting to know everyone, particularly people in our small group. Then after a nature-based art workshop, we'll head offline for lunch and to work on at-home art activities. We'll come back together online in the afternoon to share and reflect on what we've worked on throughout the day.
Bringing a Group

Program
On Sunday afternoon (26/08), we’re going to have a ‘Check In & Welcome’ session from 4pm to 5pm. This is an opportunity to firstly, make sure you can log in and get into our online Create Camp system. Then we’ll spend a bit of time getting to know each other and setting ourselves up for the following three days.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will follow the same general pattern. You can check in from 8:45am for a 9:00am start. Throughout the day, we’ll spend some time in the big group online, some time in small groups online, and some time offline (perhaps even out in the real world) engaging in various nature-based and art-based activities. There’ll be some fun stuff, some arty stuff and some thoughtful stuff on offer. And when we knock off at 4:30pm, there will even be some optional activities for you to continue on with at home.
