Explore your creative side with Camp Artpace's five-day adventures in art making! These hands-on programs are designed to provide children with individual artistic development through a variety of educational and recreational activities. Campers spend the week learning and creating with art-trained educators and professional artists.
The Camp's central theme is explored through a variety of creative activities each day, including painting, photography, and collage. Morning activities take place at Artpace, while afternoons incorporate exploration of related cultural resources in the downtown area during outdoor field trips. By week's end, campers will gain a greater appreciation and understanding of art through interactive learning and fun creative activities.
As Camp Artpace comes to a close, Artpace arranges an exhibition of Campers' artwork at a community venue. Parents and friends are encouraged to attend the opening reception of Campers' works.
All materials are included in registration fee. Campers receive their own sketchbook as well as a camp T-shirt. Spaces are limited, so contact the education department for dates and information, and register early!
