Summer is a great time for kids to stir up their creative juices. For the sixteenth year in a row, Wendy Merryman is cooking up five, terrific weeks full of inspired Art Camp projects.

The camps are very popular and are fast paced & fun! The camps challenge children as they are given a variety of media to manipulate with creativity. The camps include fun summer things such as wet messy activities and popsicles. The media varies from year to year but always proves to be interesting for children up to their teenage years. The cost is $125 per week and includes supplies, drinks and snacks.

Whendy is an artist, art therapist and teacher, who loves working with children. Her summer Art Camps held during the past fourteen years have been a great success. Whendy looks forward to this year’s camps being the best yet.

$125.00

CLASS SIZES:
Art Camp groups usually range from 20 to 25 children. Whendy staffs her camps accordingly. Children are grouped by ages, allowing them to receive age-specific help; it also allows them to learn from and inspire one another.

Whendy has run this camp for more than fifteen years and provides children's projects for six-years-olds at one table, eight-year-olds at another table, on up to teenagers as well. The camp is an exciting experience designed for a larger group and is always staffed to make sure that every child receives the appropriate assistance.

WHAT TO BRING:
Art Camp provides materials, snacks and drinks.
You supply second-hand clothes for wet messy work, a bath/beach towel, lunch if desired and fun creative energy!

WHAT WE DO:
In Art Camp, the kids do two to three projects each day. Whendy discusses an art principal, demonstrates it and motivates students to be experimental and imaginative while manipulating an assortment of media. Camp is fast-paced and encourages creativity, experimentation and, of course, FUN!
