Our Spring Break Camp is Online! Through Zoom, our teaching artists will provide personal, meaningful, and fun art content to keep your child engaged each day. Here's how it works:
A supply list will be sent to cover each day, which includes basic art supplies you should have at home, such as colored pencils and paper. Projects will include drawing, painting, sculpting activities and games. The student should have the supplies prepared and ready when class begins. If you do not have access to something listed, we can offer alternatives so your child can easily participate. An official Zoom link will be sent via email to join our online Spring Break. If you have not yet created a Zoom account, you can do so here: zoom.us
