Welcome to the Clam House!

This is the treehouse that the campers at Montalvo’s Out on a Limb treehouse camp collaboratively built with artist and teacher, Justin Lowman (to name just one of the fabulous staff that worked with the kids on this project).

First campers got together in groups coming up with models for their tree houses. Ideas were combined and modified. Through trial and error, with lots of emphasis on process and hands on learning, they built this amazing structure (and a lot of self-confidence) by the end of the week. Clam House will be on display at Montalvo for the remainder of the summer!

Hammers and nails, saws and screwdrivers pulleys and platforms, climbing walls and ladders, friends and forest – clearly what summer dreams are made of (artists too)!
