Campers should bring a peanut-free lunch & snack each day, plus a bottle of water (and a face mask for when social distancing is not possible if COVID precautions still in effect at the time of your camp week)

Come and join our art adventure! 
Each week, explore drawing, painting, sculpting, fiber art, mixed media and more.  The focus is on giving your child access to professional artists and quality materials to create art.   Camps will be facilitated by instructors Susan Sieber and Thomas Egger, along with a variety of trained camp assistants.  Special visitors will stop by each week to inspire your child's art with unique art demos and exciting animal friends to meet and draw.

What will you do?
• Paint with watercolor & acrylic paints
• Draw with colored pencils, markers, and oil pastels
• Sculpt with polymer clay & use wooden forms as a base for your own creations
• Use button/sticker machines to design and create pin-buttons, stencils, stickers and more
• Play outdoor games or just enjoy the sun with outdoor lunchtime
• Select camps will visit the Dole Mansion historical building and art gallery
• Each camp will host a special visitor to inspire creativity
