Ages 5 to 7 yrs old

These camps are loosely themed for our younger students and are a great way for your child to spend a summer week. Each day we'll be creating a variety of projects geared for young beginning artists and teaching the basics of drawing and painting as well as creating great craft projects. Projects change weekly so you can enroll your child in as many camps as you like. All levels of ability are welcome.
