About Us *

Welcome to Sustainable Sprouts Art Camp! I’m Annie Ferrer, and I’m so excited to share this creative and sustainable journey with you.

With a deep passion for early childhood development, I’ve been working in this field since 2018. My journey began as an assistant teacher in 2021, where I spent six months learning the ropes before becoming the lead teacher for a full year. During that time, I truly realized the profound impact that teachers and other adults have on a child’s life. I believe that the foundation of any great educational experience is built on mutual respect, patience, and trust between counselors and students. Every child deserves a safe and nurturing space to grow, create, and feel truly at home.

Alongside my professional journey, I have always been passionate about sustainability and eco-friendly living. It’s something that I’ve integrated into my personal life for years, and it felt only natural to blend my love for art, sustainability, and teaching into one meaningful venture.

At Sustainable Sprouts, we strive to create an enriching environment where children not only explore their creativity but also learn the importance of protecting and preserving the planet. Through hands-on art projects and sustainability lessons, we inspire young minds to express themselves while fostering a deep respect for nature.

What truly makes our camp special is the incredible team of camp counselors I’ve carefully handpicked. Each of them shares my passion for working with children, teaching, and sustainability. Together, we will provide an unforgettable, impactful experience for your child, one that fosters creativity, collaboration, and a sense of responsibility towards the world around them.

I’m thrilled to welcome your child to a summer of creativity, exploration, and growth — all within a space that values both the environment and the amazing potential of every child. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
