"Adventures in Art" Summer Camps
Join us on a great art hunt that takes place in stories and history near and far away! We will travel the globe to uncover famous artists and their art forms, and fun characters from books and folklore that enchant the imagination. In our travels, youth will create unique drawing, painting, clay and craft projects that reflect various artists, artistic styles and narritives from the past to the present. All summer art camps are $85.00, except Elementary Clay Days (which is $30.00) and and Middle School Wheel (which is $97.00).
