The perfect after school adventure for your creative child
Wild Art Club
An Adventure Program for Creative Kids
Wild Art Club nurtures your child’s deep desire to imagine, invent & explore through creative adventures in the studio and outdoors.
Need a Ride?
We’re picking up our Wild Artists from 4 schools!
Elk Meadow Elementary
Pine Ridge Elementary
Jewell Elementary
Silver Rail Elementary
Registration opens December 5th at 8am!
Pick the day(s) of the week that fit your schedule. Wild Art Club meets Mondays through Thursdays 2:30-6pm (Wednesdays 1-6pm for early release).
Flexible Schedule
Studio + State Park Days
Each day a new creative adventure; some weeks we’ll explore in the studio, others we’ll venture outdoors to Tumalo and LaPine State Parks.
Transportation
Students attending select elementary schools will be picked up from school in the R.A.D vans. Everyone will meet at Wondery for a studio day or state park day.
Winter + Spring Sessions
Register your child for the Winter Session (11 weeks), Spring Session (10 weeks) or both to join us through the end of the school year.
Studio Days
We’ll get settled into the studio with snack & drawing time, a new drawing prompt each day.
Wild Artists will be guided through a creative afternoon of provocations (curated materials to invite children to create and explore creative possibilities), open create time and creative games.
The studio fills with a creative buzz…watercolors, weaving, wildly imaginative cardboard creations - kids explore a little bit of everything and exude excitement for the ideas they bring to life.
Outdoor Days
We’ll round up the Wild Artists (from our pickup schools and Wondery) and head out in the vans to Tumalo or LaPine State Parks.
Wild Artists will be guided through a creative afternoon of nature journaling, outdoor exploration and play.
We’ll head back to Wondery to end our day with some open create time as parents pick up between 5:30-6pm.
Wild Art Club is a collaborative program between Wondery and R.A.D. Camps, combining our expertise in youth programming to nurture children’s need to adventure after school.
Wild Art Club is designed to nurture your child’s social + emotional needs after a long day of school. Your child will feel:
Emotionally regulated
by having the space to experiment without pressure to produce an outcome, express themselves through all different types of art and explore the outdoors.
A sense of belonging
as they create and explore in a small and nurturing environment alongside a community of Wild Artists.
Empowered
as they realize their own capacity for bringing ideas to life and try new materials and tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my child join if they attend a school other than the schools listed for transportation? Yes! While we are currently able to offer pickup from 4 schools the program is for Wild Artists all over Bend! And we hope to offer transportation for more schools next year!
How does the payment plan work? When you register your child you’ll have the option to select a plan of 3 payments. Your credit card will be charged the first payment at registration, the remaining 2 payments will be automatically charged on the first day of the following 2 months. For example, if you register on December 5th you’ll make the first payment, the remaining payments will then be charged January 1st and February 1st.
What should my child pack for Wild Art Club? Please send your child with a water bottle, snack and appropriate clothing/gear to stay warm during outdoor exploration days. We’ll provide more specific guidance in our handbook before the program starts!
How will the winter weather affect the program? The R.A.D. vans will be equipped with winter tires for safe transportation! While this will allow us to provide transportation the short distance between elementary schools and Wondery, we will not venture further to state parks during any inclement or unsafe driving weather. We do however believe in spending time outdoors even when it’s cold and will do so during planned outdoor days as long as driving conditions are safe!
What is the cancellation policy? If you have a change of plans prior to 3 weeks before class start you may receive a full class credit to be applied to a future session of Wild Art Club. You may transfer registration to another child at anytime. A refund may be available if we are able to fill your spot from the waitlist.
