Make It W.I.S.E.: Crafting That’s More than Just Glitter and Glue

Too often, camp crafts and activities end up as “one-and-done” projects-something kids make, leave behind, or toss away. The W.I.S.E. (Wearable, Interactive/Physical, Skill, Elevated) Method offers a fresh framework to help camp professionals design projects that kids truly love and remember.

In this interactive session, participants will explore each element of the Kids in the Game W.I.S.E. Method through real examples from camp settings, practice evaluating sample projects with the framework, and brainstorm how to apply it back at their own programs. You’ll walk away with a practical tool and new ideas to raise the bar on camper art.
