June 2025: Paint it Your Way CAMP PLANS

Below are the plans I will use this summer. They are based on the Paint It Your Way Jumpstart.

The camp day plans are as thorough as I could make them. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Please download both PDFs below for the plans and supplementary material.

The plans are for

  • four days

  • two hours each day

  • four campers

  • elementary to intermediate Level

  • ages 7-12, but I could imagine doing this camp with teens, too.


The items linked below are for your convenience for a brushup on how I introduce the Blues to students.

Accessing the Lesson Videos

This Jumpstart is based on a collection of videos I made in the past using the app Book Creator. The app allows you to create e-books and even turns them into videos.

Below are two ways to view the content. First, on the Book Creator site, Paint it Your Way is presented as an e-book with videos inside. You’ll notice that there are various modes of viewing the book. And there’s even an option for the book to be read to you!

The second way to view the content is by a video of the book.

#1 See the book in Book Creator HERE.
