This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Art camp

Do you love how artists and designers use words in their work, from inspirational quotes to illustrated books, in comic strips, or graphic novels?

Using the written language as inspiration, we will create a variety of images and designs to illustrate and illuminate text. This camp is a great merge between writing and art and campers will have opportunity to create their own writing or make illustrations for old favorites!

Campers should bring a printout of an appropriate favorite poem or song lyrics AND a favorite children's book.
