SMDT Summer Holiday Camp

Art for Earth

July 13- 17 2026

At a Glance

This summer, we dive into the questions: “How can art protect the Earth?” and “How can art connect communities?”

Using sustainable techniques, we create our own natural paints and explore art’s power to inspire change.

Building on our Living in Harmony camp, we take creativity outdoors - enjoying the lake, visiting the Kunsthaus, exploring a Graffiti Park, and discovering the Enea Tree Museum in Rapperswil.

We celebrate the connection between art, nature, and community.
