Scoop & Sketch: Full Retreat Details

Make space for sweetness and silliness.
Scoop & Sketch is a lighthearted, 2.5-hour retreat designed to spark creativity, laughter, and playful imagination. We’ll start at Edgewater Public Market, wander along the trails at Sloan’s Lake, and pause to sketch, dream, and create—all topped off with a scoop of ice cream.

This isn’t about being “good” at art. It’s about letting your mind wander and your ideas play. You’ll imagine your own whimsical ice cream shop: magical flavors, silly signage, and made-up branding. Using your journal, art supplies, and canvas board (all provided), you’ll bring that dream to life—just for fun.

Phones stay tucked away so you can fully enjoy the breeze, the colors, the laughter, and the treat at the end. Expect to walk away feeling lighter, brighter, and just a little more joyful.
