ARTtastic Summer Camp **FullMASKS ARE NOT REQUIRED AT THIS TIME. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR COVID NUMBERS AND MAY ELECT TO REINSTATE THE POLICY IN THE FUTURE IF NEEDED.
Every week of camp is open to school-age children (ages 5 and up). (We are offering new programming for older children all the way up through high school, click here for more info!) To ensure safe social distancing within the classroom, each child will have an "Artist Studio" space of their very own, with a desk and supplies. Throughout the day, they will complete a range of projects in a variety of art media including ceramics, printmaking, and weaving. Camp days are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Please see below for further details and COVID-19 rules and procedures.
Our half-day adaptive camps are designed for students with special needs that benefit from a shorter camp day. They run along side our full-day camps. Select from either the morning session (8:00 am - 12:00 pm) or the afternoon session (1:00 pm - 5:00 pm). Art & Me SeriesThis summer we will explore some of the many things art can do in our lives!
