Budding Artists: Ages 6 - 9
Our camps for ages 6-9 emphasize having fun while putting effort into a piece they can be proud of. Each week of camp has two themes (morning and afternoon) and includes exploration of different materials and techniques. Camp ends with an art show for families and guests to enjoy.
Budding Artists can attend the morning session, afternoon session, or both!
Campers who attend all day will have a break for lunch from 11:45am-12:15pm.
Morning Session: Monday-Friday (10AM-12PM)
Afternoon Session: Monday-Friday (12PM-2PM)
Camps are limited to approximately 10 students.
Supplies are included in the cost of the class, and students who attend the full day are responsible for bringing their own lunch.
