KID’S AUTUMN RETREAT
13th-15th APRIL 2026
‘WORLD OF OUR OWN’
Multi-Arts Project
The Children’s Imagination Academy is looking for a crew of epic 6-12 year old humans to join our cosmically creative autumn retreat!
Ever dreamed of creating a World of your Own?
‘WORLD OF OUR OWN’ is a 3-Day Story-Making Project combining all the arts that we know kids love -from electric movement to cosy relaxation, from music making to clever construction, from freestyle painting to hearty vocalising, from wild imaginings to brilliant character creation. We are inviting in TWELVE young creatives to immerse themselves in this vibrant collborative space - a new opportunity to let their unique talents shine through!
Not to mention our hallmark focus on WHOLE SELF WELLBEING - these essential life skills and practices are woven in daily.
Here’s the lowdown…
Your Child will be guided through a step-by-step process for all these activities:
DAY 1: Mind-Body Learning, Games + Story Creation
DAY 2: Set Making, Character Play, Art, Music
DAY 3: Story Completion, Presentation+ Relaxation!
The focus of this multi-arts project is giving the children the opportunity to freely create a dream-scape style story, utilising their unique ideas and talents! This experience will immerse the lucky 12 in a creative flow, as well as highlighting the importance of linking our wellbeing to creativity. Let’s see what can happen when our young leaders have the support and open space, to make a world of their own.
