Imaginations will run wild as creative kids give an old story a new life. Newspapers, boxes and other "found" materials will be mixed up with theater games and crafts to become and magical and likely unconventional storytelling event. On Friday, other art campers, parents and friends will get to share in the fun of a brief performance. All the props, costumes and scenery will be recycled for many future adventures.

Kids will find their very own star power in this terrific theater camp. Campers will dramatize some of their favorite stories and use theater games to build confidence.

Do you love to sing? Come to camp and learn summer hits designed for both Boys & Girls! Practice vocal warm-ups, learn about vocal projection, blending, breathing, animation and performing. Learn new choreography and performance techniques. It's a great way to escape the heat and sing your favorite tunes! Divas and vocalists alike will get to share their songs on Friday!


Visual Arts:

It's time to create! Using what? How about left over junk! Let's not throw it away, let's create some cool looking art from it! Nip Rogers will be guiding kids through a week long course of creating 2D and 3D JUNK ART, through constructing, painting, collaging and any other way that we can think of to create. It's going to be fun, and if you're not careful, you may learn something about your own creativity along the way. Campers with share their "junkyard" on Friday with fellow campers.

Taking ideas outside the box and onto the paper! This is a 2-D Multi-media class with an emphasis on drawing, painting & collage. Whether you are a Matisse man or a Kandinsky kid, you will have a blast learning about color theory, patterns and design. Students will be creating with markers, colored pencils, chalk, pastels, water-based paints & a variety of papers. Come prepared to get messy, have fun, and share your best masterpieces with other campers on Friday.

Clay may come from the earth, but the sky's the limit in this ceramics camp! From sensational sculptures to functional pottery, there is no limit to the mess of fun kids will have. Tiles, animals, masks, coil patterned dishes & extruded artifacts are just some of the projects kids may explore. They will use colorful & paintable low fire glazes as well as having the opportunity to dip into some high fire fun. Finished pieces will be teaming with textures and creativity; students will have a chance to show them off to other campers at the end of the week.
