Come join an immersive, hands-on range of creative experiences with a wide range of exploratory materials and fun lesson plans. A variety of themed projects - focused on investigating mediums like watercolor, acrylics, stamp printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and more! Unlike the school year, this summer camp week prioritizes self expression, skill-building, and fun over assessment. They will learn to foster confidence through individual and collaborative group brainstorming projects and culminating showcases, allowing themselves to explore creativity in a relaxed environment.
