It has been a long summer—let’s ease our way out with a shorter camp day! We plan to have a blast painting, crafting, and making sculpture projects each day. We will explore nature, famous artists, color & texture as we discover and celebrate our creative side. We’ll also make sure to get outside and move around with some group games and park time. Dress for a mess! Facilitated by Brickton Art Center. CAC
