Meet the Team
Lauren Martin
I'm Lauren Martin, the director of Cool Aunt Creatives, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to our Cool Aunt Jr programming. With a background in landscape architecture and a specialization in environmental psychology and playground design, I bring an educational perspective to our camp experiences. As a dance teacher, however, I understand the importance of movement, creative expression, and most importantly, fun in child development.
My passion for the outdoors and adventure has always been a big part of my life, especially when performing my Cool Aunt duties with my even cooler niece and nephew. Over the years, I've had the joy of coordinating and instructing nature and crafts camps in other cities, where I've seen firsthand the impact these experiences can have on children.
In Guelph for the summer of 2024, I'm excited to bring these experiences to life at Cool Aunt Jr Summer Camp. Join me for a summer filled with creativity, exploration, and unforgettable memories!
