summer art camp

Come and join our art adventure
Explore creating art this summer - try drawing, painting, sculpting, mixed media and more. The focus is on giving young artists access to professional art instructors and quality materials to create art. Outdoor lunch with games and art journals add to the enjoyment, and special animal visits each week will inspire your camper with fun furry friends to meet and draw. New projects each week! Crystal Lake camps listed below 5 camp weeks also available in: Wauconda |
