AMERICAN GIRL DOLL – Travel back in time to learn more about the different eras of the historical American Girl Dolls. Each day’s activities and art projects will center around a different doll and time period. On Friday, campers will attend their own tea party. Dolls are welcome to attend camp.
LIFE IN THE RAINFOREST – A variety of art projects will help to teach campers all about different plants, animals and people living in the rainforest.
UNDER THE SEA – We all know the Little Mermaid lived under the sea, but let’s learn about other creatures and life under the sea. There will be lots of fun art projects and activities centered around the sea.
KIDS & PHOTOGRAPHY – Campers will participate in hands-on activities to learn to create their own fine arts photos, tell a story with pictures and learn more about composition, light and photography guidelines. Each camper will need to bring a basic digital camera and will have a chance to display their work in the halls of the Education & Dance Center.
