Week 1: WAITLIST

Art in Motion! 

Monday, June 26- Friday, June 30, 2023

9am – 2pm

Ages 6-11

Let’s jump into action to discover how movement and art come together in different ways. During the week, we will explore action art, kinetic art, olympic/sports art, and techniques to create the illusion of movement in visual art. We will also look at stories in art and use our bodies to perform artfully through acting and/or dance. 

Week 2: WAITLIST:

The Art of Games!

Monday, July 31- Friday, August 4, 2023

9am – 2pm

Ages 9+

Let’s play! We will look at a variety of games we all love and then design our own board game. We will sculpt, draw, paint, and collage to create the different elements of our games so campers will end the week with an original game to play at home. There will be lots of time for playing games and making other creations too.
