Both camper age groups focus on age-appropriate arts activities and instruction. Campers will experience a morning session, followed by a snack break, a midday session and lunch. Each day will finish with a final afternoon session post-lunch and activity time. Campers will also have opportunities for outdoor play and counselor-facilitated games and activities. <\/p>\n

At the end of each week, family members can visit campus to see their children participate in an art exhibition and performance, complete with a reception.  <\/p>\n
