#33027  SPRING BREAK ART CAMP

4 Fun Filled Days of creative art activities and friendship. Sign up for only one day and/or days that your child wants. Participants bring a lunch and enjoy a day of challenging, unusual and exciting art projects, both inside and outside as weather permits. There will be no art camp on Friday. We have extended hours for those who need it, at no additional cost. Sign up for only one day and/or days that you want. Each day this Camp has a theme for those parents-children looking for something unique.
Note: Some of our activities take us outside as the spring weather permits. We may have to change certain planned activities, such as drawing in the City Park, depending on which day has the best weather prediction. We cannot know this more than a few days in advance.

Our younger participants have never had the opportunity to create this unique and personal artwork.

These sculptures end up telling a story that is both personal and artistic.
