Summer Art Camp: This is Me
Monday, July 15 – Friday, July 19, 2024
Time: 1:00pm-4:00pm
Ages: 11-15
Cost: $135 members, $145 non-members
In this workshop teenage campers will build community with peers, experiment with using art and creative investigation for identity and strengths explorations, practicing self-care, and discovering beauty within the imperfect nature of existence. Campers will be encouraged to make mistakes, get silly with things they feel they are not good at, determine routines which best fit their personal self-care needs, and define and refine personal opinions and preferences as they relate to the person they envision themselves becoming as they approach the exciting and turbulent times of young adulthood.
Masks may be required in the classroom depending on community spread. Masks requirements may be subject to change. If you are not willing to wear a mask please do not register for our youth classes.
